Donald Trump has fired a top official at the independent agency responsible for labor relations with the federal government.
Susan Tsui Grundmann, one of three board members at the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA), has been dismissed, a White House official told the Guardian. She served as the agency’s chair.
Trump is “committed to building a team fully committed to advancing his America-First agenda”, the White House official said.
Her profile page on the agency’s website has already been removed, and an organizational chart of its leadership states that the chair role is now vacant.
Tsui Grudmann’s firing was first revealed by a Washington Post reporter on social media.
