In NCLA Win, NLRB Drops Meritless Charge Against Ben Shapiro and The Daily Wire over Tweet Joel Fleming v. The Daily Wire, LLC; The Committee to Preserve the Religious Right to Organize, Los Angeles v. The Daily Wire, LLC Washington, D.C., May 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a victory for social media users everywhere, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has cleared Ben Shapiro, Co-Founder and Editor Emeritus of The Daily Wire, of a meritless charge. A random Twitter user had claimed that Mr. Shapiro violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) when he posted a satirical tweet about a current news event. The New Civil Liberties Alliance, a nonpartisan, nonprofit civil rights group, successfully defended The Daily Wire, LLC during pre-complaint investigations conducted by NLRB, resulting in a dismissal of the charge. NCLA commends NLRB for refusing to validate claims of wrongdoing by random individuals who were not “aggrieved” by the alleged unfair labor practice.
