"SpaceX Faces Allegations of Retaliatory Firings Over Criticism of Elon Musk"

SpaceX is facing allegations from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for illegally firing eight employees in retaliation for an internal letter that criticized CEO Elon Musk's behavior on social media. The NLRB claims the company engaged in unlawful interrogation, surveillance, and threats against workers who participated in collective action. A trial is set for March 5, and the NLRB has the power to order reinstatement and back pay for the fired workers. This is part of a pattern of accusations against Musk's companies for attempting to silence workers' protected speech.

"Employer Restrictions on Vacation Activities: The Skiing Dilemma"

Gregory Giangrande addresses two concerns: the timing of job searches and vacation rights. He suggests that the best time to look for a job is when one is prepared and positive, rather than trying to time the market. Regarding vacations, he clarifies that while a boss can't dictate how employees spend their time off, they can determine when vacations can be taken, especially during busy seasons. In the case of an accountant being discouraged from skiing due to injury risks during the tax season, Giangrande affirms that personal activities during vacation are not the employer's business, but taking time off during critical work periods can be legitimately restricted by the employer.
