National Labor Relations attorney who the Biden administration had asked to resign is refusing to le

On Wednesday, the Biden administration asked for the resignation of Peter Robb, the general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board, according to a White House official.
But Robb, a 2017 Trump appointee with 10 months left in his term, is refusing to heed the request, calling it “unprecedented since the nascence of the National Labor Relations Act” and saying that his removal “would set an unfortunate precedent,” according to Law360.
President Biden’s request, which was first reported by Bloomberg Law, does break with recent precedent of allowing NLRB general counsels to serve out their terms.
Robb, a former management lawyer who was involved in President Ronald Reagan’s infamous battle against the air traffic controllers union, has brought a pro-business approach to the agency, which oversees union elections and upholds workers’ rights to organize. His tenure has raised concerns among worker advocates, and major labor unions such as the Service Employees International Union have been pushing for his dismissal.
