The Legal Battle for the Working Class: A Conversation with Former NLRB Chair Gwynne Wilcox

Duke University School of Law

Join ACS and Duke Law Democrats for a conversation with Gwynne Wilcox, former Chair of the National Labor Relations Board and a leading national voice on workers' rights. Wilcox will discuss the role of labor law in protecting working people, and her removal from the NLRB by President Trump with the resulting legal battle over the independence of federal labor protection institutions. Moderated by Duke Law Professor Jeffrey Hirsch, the discussion will explore what is at stake for collective bargaining, workplace democracy, and the future of labor enforcement in the United States.
