U.S. President Donald Trump has fired two Democratic officials at the National Labor Relations Board, a major shakeup that will bring hundreds of cases accusing companies of unlawful labor practices to a standstill and paves the way for Republican control of the agency.

Former President Donald Trump removed National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) general counsel Jennifer Abruzzo and Democratic member Gwynne Wilcox overnight, leaving the agency’s adjudicatory panel without a quorum and its prosecutor’s office without a permanent leader.
