In today’s news and commentary, D.C. Circuit reinstates Wilcox; DOL attempts to trim workforce again; and unions split regarding Trump tariffs.
The full D.C. Circuit has restored NLRB Member Gwynne Wilcox to her seat, undoing a panel decision which had kept Wilcox sidelined pending full consideration of her case. Monday’s order reinstating Wilcox emphasized that the Supreme Court has expressly declined to overturn Humphrey’s Executor in recent cases and emphasized that lower courts must “follow extant Supreme Court precedent unless and until that Court itself changes it or overturns it.” Four judges dissented from Monday’s decision, repeating arguments made by the D.C. Circuit panel in late March.
