It’s Everyone’s Job to
We express our deep concerns regarding the recent firings of EEOC Commissioners Jocelyn Samuels and Charlotte Burrows, along with NLRB Member Gwynne Wilcox and General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo. These dismissals raise significant alarms about the commitment to protecting workers’ rights and upholding fair labor practices in our country.
The work of these individuals has been crucial in advancing equality and justice within the workplace, and their departure not only disrupts ongoing initiatives but also sends a troubling signal about the prioritization of worker protections. We believe it is essential to foster an environment in which advocates for fairness and equity can continue to serve without fear of retaliation or dismissal.
We urge all stakeholders to reflect on the implications of these actions and to advocate for a governance structure that promotes fairness, transparency, and the unwavering protection of workers’ rights. The strength of our labor and civil rights frameworks relies on dedicated leaders who are committed to these critical causes.
We stand in solidarity with those who strive for equity and justice in the workplace and call for accountability and a recommitment to worker rights at all levels of government.
