CDW Urges Supreme Court to Keep Wilcox off NLRB While Litigation Is Pending

On April 14, the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace filed an amicus brief before the Supreme Court urging the Justices to issue a stay in Wilcox v Trump to keep Gwynne Wilcox off the National Labor Relations Board while the litigation over her termination is pending.

The following can be attributed to CDW Chair Kristen Swearingen:

“Allowing Gwynne Wilcox to remain on the Board while the litigation is pending would result in regulated parties and the NLRB expending significant time and resources to participate in Board proceedings, despite the legal status of these proceedings being in doubt. If President Trump’s termination of Wilcox is upheld by the courts, these proceedings would have to be vacated and restarted. This would be a tremendous waste of resources and leaves the regulated community in a state of immense uncertainty about how to proceed. The Supreme Court should grant a stay in this case and provide stability to the regulated community.”
