White House Pushed Job Cuts at Agency That's Clashed With Musk
The White House is privately urging the federal labor board to reduce staff, despite pushback by Trump-appointed officials warning that further cuts would imperil the agency's functions. Reviewers from the Office of Management and Budget recently deemed the US National Labor Relations Board's rationale for avoiding layoffs inadequate. 'Without more, the agency cannot fully exempt itself from further staff reductions,' OMB staff said in a response to the NLRB. The memo urged the labor board to 'think creatively' about how to use a set of tactics, including layoffs, to reduce headcount.

Case Claiming Sean Penn Illegally Threatened His Non-Profit's Staff Dropped by Trump Labor Board
US labor board prosecutors are ditching a Biden-era complaint that alleged Sean Penn illegally threatened his non-profit's workers, the latest sign of a more management-friendly enforcement approach under President Donald Trump. In a Friday filing, a regional official at the US National Labor Relations Board ordered the withdrawal of a complaint against Community Organized Relief Effort, Penn's disaster relief organization. While the agency's investigation had concluded that an email Penn sent staff contained illegal implied threats, 'the conduct is isolated in nature,' with no 'ongoing unlawful effect' on working conditions, regional director Danielle Pierce wrote in her order. Pierce said she could revive the case if there were new allegations brought against CORE within the next six months, according to the order viewed by Bloomberg News.
