Amazon and SpaceX Unite Against Labor Board

Amazon, along with Trader Joe’s and SpaceX, has argued that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is unconstitutional as part of an ongoing case against the company for alleged retaliation against unionized workers. The NLRB is investigating unfair labor practice charges against Amazon for its anti-union activity at a Staten Island warehouse. Amazon's argument is that the NLRB's structure violates the Constitution's separation of powers and its due process rights. Legal experts believe these efforts to deem core governmental institutions illegal have stemmed from the leanings of the current Supreme Court. A trial on this case is scheduled for the end of February.
