Democratic lawmakers and their traditional labor union allies are cheering President Joe Biden’s firing of the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) general counsel even though Peter Robb’s four-year term had nine months left.

House Education and Labor Committee Chairman Bobby Scott praised Biden in a statement issued Jan. 20 for seeking Robb’s resignation; Robb was fired after declining to resign.
