Amazon and SpaceX Accused of Trying to Demolish National Labor Law
Update: 2024-02-21
Description
Amazon alleged in a legal filing published that the National Labor Relations Board is unconstitutional.
SpaceX and companies that, like Amazon, have repeatedly faced labor law violations from the federal agency have recently made similar attacks that threaten national worker protections.
Amazon claims that the NLRB’s structure is unconstitutional because administrative law judges are insulated from presidential oversight, thus violating the separation of powers. The company also argues against the structure of NLRB itself, as well as its ability to fine a company for unfair labor practices after a hearing, rather than a full jury trial.
