President Biden Fires Union-Busting Lawyer Who Refused to Resign from Labor Board
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden has fired Peter Robb, the general counsel of the
National Labor Relations Board, after Robb refused to resign. Robb was a

infamously helped President Ronald Reagan break the air traffic
controllers' union in 1981.
