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.
