Amazon and SpaceX are quietly trying to demolish national labor law — American workers could lose workplace protections that they’ve had for almost a century::Amazon alleged in a legal filing published Friday morning that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is unconstitutional. SpaceX and Trader Joe’s –
Those who make peaceful labor negotiations impossible, make violent strikes inevitable.
And with SpaceX, where rocket fuel and very expensive parts are abundant, this could be more entertaining and explosive than the average starship launch.
They’re banking on the 6-3 conservative majority being willing to use their power.
When organized labor is crushed, what comes next is never pretty (see: 1930s Germany).
Which is why I and many others will never have kids.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Amazon alleged in a legal filing published Friday morning that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is unconstitutional.
SpaceX and Trader Joe’s — companies that, like Amazon, have repeatedly faced labor law violations from the federal agency — have recently made similar attacks that threaten national worker protections.
If these threats against the NLRB keep moving forward, American workers could lose workplace protections that they’ve had for almost a century.
“It’s a crock of s–t,” said Seth Goldstein, the legal counsel for Trader Joe’s United and the Amazon Labor Union.
Amazon claims that the NLRB’s structure is unconstitutional because administrative law judges are “insulated from presidential oversight,” thus violating the separation of powers.
But as the 2024 election looms, a Republican administration could significantly change that, making it more likely for corporations to be successful in attempts to strike down long-standing labor law.

American workers could lose workplace protections that they’ve had for almost a century
It really can’t get much worse, though. Any American worker who thinks they have workplace protections needs to wake up and take a look around the rest of the Western world. The US is pretty much worst-in-class when in comes to workplace protections.
Oh it can though.
Maybe a bit. But it’s still already worst-in-class.
I hear CEO pairs well with chianti
And fava beans, though I’d prefer peas and an IPA.
With the help of Starbucks, who’s former CEO was supposed to be Clinton’s Labor Secretary.
God, Clinton really was a piece of shit, huh
While Reagan is the instrument that set America the path to hell, Bill Clinton was the right hand who crushed any idea of a rebound by labor. One can only assume both Clintons were critical in selling the DNC to capital.
Pro life VP, anti labor/anti union secretary of labor. Yes she was

Wait till they will claim elections as unconstitutional
So many people hate the baby boomers but it was the boomers, and the previous generation, that fought for so many rights that we have. And this generation is doing everything they can to destroy what was fought for. It’s fucking sad. Roe v Wade (gone). Not having minors do jobs they really shouldn’t be doing (going away). Not have minors working long hours (going away). NLRB ( i don’t trust that the Supreme Court will find in the favor of the people). IVF (under attack). Gerrymandering getting worse, with no real way to stop it.
By this generation (I mean the groups that came after the boomers). Did some boomers create some problems? Yes. But Damn did they get some things right.
Your timeline is off
my point is still valid. the baby boomers (and their parents) fought for a lot of stuff and won and we are watching those things slip away. Roe v Wade was decided in 1973. which group of people fought for that? (and that’s just one example)
