Joe Biden instantly made it clear that he would be the most pro-union president in years by canning Trump’s anti-union NLRB common counsel.
HuffPo Labor Reporter Dave Jamieson tweeted:
NEW: White Home official confirmed for me that Joe Biden simply fired Peter Robb after he refused to resign as NLRB common counsel.

For many who haven’t been following, this units a brand new precedent. Unions needed Robb gone instantly — they suppose he’s that unhealthy — however the gen counsel sometimes serves out their full 4-year time period even when it spills into a brand new presidency.

There was a number of angst contained in the company too, amongst legal professionals who hated the restructuring Robb was doing. I spoke to some over the previous few years. They felt prefer it was getting tougher to pursue huge instances and perform the mission of defending collective bargaining rights.

Trump tried to stack the Govt Department together with his loyalists and lackeys, however Joe Biden has instantly proven that he isn’t going to tolerate their potential sabotage of his administration. The Trump loyalists have a alternative. They will both resign, or they are often fired.
Joe Biden doesn’t want a foolish “deep state” conspiracy or some other nonsense. Individuals like Robb who have been positioned in high-level positions to undermine the elements of the federal government that they have been presupposed to be helping haven’t any place within the Biden administration.
The earlier president was a faux powerful man who was afraid to fireside anybody, however Joe Biden is shortly exhibiting a backbone of metal and toughness that has been lacking for the final 4 years.
