Amazon, SpaceX and many other companies are going on the offensive by suing the National Labor Relations Board in order to block it from pursuing cases accusing them of illegal labour practices
The SpaceX logo is displayed on a building at the Kennedy Space Center, in Cape Canaveral, Fla., on May 26, 2020.A U.S. labour board whose enforcement powers are being challenged in a series of lawsuits is set to defend itself from attacks by Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Amazon.
The board’s general counsel issues complaints accusing employers or unions of illegal practices, which are heard by administrative judges whose decisions can be reviewed by the five-member board. Trump’s election to a second White House term could separately hobble the NLRB as the Republican and his supporters – including Musk, who has emerged as a top adviser to Trump – have vowed to curb the powers of administrative agencies.
SpaceX is fighting an NLRB case accusing it of firing engineers critical of Musk. Each company has filed a second lawsuit against the NLRB stemming from separate board cases, which are also likely to end up at the 5th Circuit. Critics, including the NLRB, call the practice “judge shopping” and have sought to curb it, including by asking judges to transfer cases out of Texas.
