Amazon and SpaceX, backed by Elon Musk, are taking the National Labor Relations Board to federal court, challenging its very existence. Triggered by NLRB complaints over union activities at Amazon’s NYC warehouse (April 2022) and SpaceX’s alleged retaliation against critical employees, the lawsuits argue the NLRB oversteps constitutional bounds. Heard by the 5th Circuit in New Orleans, judges are dubious, citing procedural missteps. A Supreme Court showdown looms, potentially reshaping labor protections and Musk's political clout.
