Kennedy Jr. stop using images of the iconic labor leader in his campaign, stating that the association is untrue and deceptive. The family has threatened legal action if Kennedy does not comply.

"SpaceX Faces Legal Battle for Allegedly Retaliating Against Musk-Critical Employees"

The U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has filed a complaint against SpaceX, accusing the company of illegally firing eight employees who criticized CEO Elon Musk in an open letter and raised concerns about the company's handling of sexual harassment allegations. The letter, which followed reports of Musk's alleged sexual misconduct, claimed his public behavior was a source of distraction and embarrassment, conflicting with SpaceX's internal policies.

"Senators Call on Tesla, Automakers to Remain Unbiased During Unionization Efforts"

A group of 33 U.S. senators has called on Tesla and 12 other automakers to remain neutral in union organizing efforts by the United Auto Workers (UAW). The senators' letter highlights concerns over illegal tactics to block unionization, citing NLRB findings against Tesla for such practices. While VW denies anti-union actions, Toyota and Rivian have not commented, and other automakers have yet to respond. The UAW is pushing to organize the nonunion auto sector, which employs nearly 150,000 workers, and has recently secured significant contracts with Detroit's big three automakers, aiming for economic justice and fair profit sharing for autoworkers.

"Federal Labor Board Accuses SpaceX of Illegally Retaliating Against Musk Critics"

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has filed a complaint against SpaceX, alleging the company illegally fired eight employees who criticized CEO Elon Musk's behavior on social media. The workers had written an open letter denouncing Musk's "disparaging" and "sexually charged" comments and the company's handling of workplace issues such as sexism and harassment. The NLRB claims SpaceX also interrogated and created an impression of surveillance among employees, restricted letter distribution, and disparaged participation in the open letter. A hearing is set for March 5 unless SpaceX settles the case. This follows similar criticisms of Musk's leadership at another of his companies, X (formerly known as Twitter).
