The NLRB just gave up on SpaceX workers who claim they were illegally fired
The National Labor Review Board (NLRB) has dropped a case accusing SpaceX of illegally firing eight employees who criticized the company's CEO Elon Musk. The employees were fired in 2022 after circulating a letter that referenced reports of Musk's sexual misconduct and called the executive "a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment." SpaceX's opposition to the NLRB's case was that the agency is unconstitutional, a critique that is not uncommon. The NLRB dismissed its SpaceX case, arguing that regulating SpaceX falls under the jurisdiction of the National Mediation Board, the government agency that handles mediation in the airline and railway industries. This decision fits a larger pattern of independent agencies being disempowered during the second Trump administration, as Elon Musk and his companies maintain a close relationship with the Trump administration.
