Trump-Appointed Judge Rules Against NLRB in Major Labor Law Case

Judge Mark Pittman grants injunction to Findhelp, questioning constitutionality of NLRB's structure and signaling potential Supreme Court showdown.

Judge Mark Pittman, appointed by Donald Trump, ruled in favor of Findhelp, granting a preliminary injunction against the NLRB.
The case centers on the argument that NLRB administrative judges are unconstitutionally protected from removal, citing a precedent set by the Fifth Circuit Court.
This ruling is part of a broader conservative legal strategy aimed at weakening federal regulatory agencies like the NLRB.
Other companies, including SpaceX and Trader Joe’s, have similar cases pending, potentially leading to more significant legal battles.
Labor rights advocates warn that undermining the NLRB could severely impact workers' rights and collective bargaining protections.
