I don't believe the charter of every US corporation is identical, so there may be some variation here, but it's my belief that, under normal circumstances, directors of a company aren't fired, but they certainly can be voted out by stockholders at the next annual board meeting.

Under special circumstances, I believe the Chairman of the Board can call a special board meeting at which the directors themselves can vote to remove another director -- this would require some type of documented and proven action constituting clear malfeasance, misfeasance, or nonfeasance, or some other legally or contractually actionable issue or activity showing gross moral turpitude or depravity, etc.

This answer is only my opinion, and I would welcome any correction, addition, or clarification.

How do condo owners fight the management company?

Depending on your governing documents, usually, the responsibility for preserving, maintaining and protecting the communally owned assets belongs to the board of directors.The board of directors -- or the developer if the condominium development is relative new -- signed a contract with the management company.At the board's discretion, it can fire the management company by cancelling the contract.If owners have disagreements with the management company, the owners can refer to specific sections of the governing documents to show where the management company is not conforming to the appropriate governance guidelines.If the management company chooses to ignore the governing documents, then owners can send a formal complaint to the board of directors, documenting the potential breach of contract based on this non-conformance.The service agreement, however, is between the board of directors on behalf of owners, and the management company.
