"SpaceX Battles NLRB Over Alleged Retaliatory Firings of Musk Critics"

SpaceX has filed a lawsuit against the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), challenging the constitutionality of the board's structure after the NLRB accused the company of unlawfully firing employees who criticized CEO Elon Musk. The NLRB claims SpaceX terminated eight workers for signing a letter that called Musk a distraction and accused him of making sexist comments. SpaceX's lawsuit aims to halt the NLRB's case, arguing that the inability to remove board members and administrative judges at will is unconstitutional. This legal strategy mirrors SpaceX's previous action to pause a Department of Justice case regarding hiring practices. The NLRB is also facing a separate lawsuit from a Starbucks employee on related grounds.

"Argentina's Judiciary Halts Milei's Labor Reforms, Upending Economic Strategy"

An Argentine court has suspended parts of a 'mega-decree' on labor law reforms introduced by President Javier Milei, following a challenge by the CGT trade union. The reforms, which included extending the job probation period and reducing dismissal compensation and pregnancy leave, were deemed to potentially erode worker protections. The government plans to appeal the ruling, while the CGT has called for a general strike. The decree is part of Milei's broader economic strategy to address Argentina's financial crisis, which involves deregulation and significant spending cuts.

"US Labor Board Alleges SpaceX Illegally Terminated Musk Critics"

SpaceX is under scrutiny by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for allegedly firing employees who criticized CEO Elon Musk in an open letter. The NLRB claims SpaceX violated workers' rights by interrogating them, creating an impression of surveillance, and threatening their jobs if they engaged in organized activities. The labor agency is seeking remedies including a notice posting about employee rights and letters of apology to the terminated employees. A hearing is set for March 5th, 2024, unless SpaceX opts for a settlement.
