"Amazon Joins SpaceX in Challenging Constitutionality of Labor Board"
TL;DR
Amazon has filed a legal document claiming the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is "unconstitutional" in connection with a 2023 case accusing the company of breaking labor rules. The e-commerce giant argues that the NLRB's structure violates the separation of powers and its hearings can seek legal remedies beyond what's allowed without a trial by jury, similar to claims made by SpaceX in a separate lawsuit earlier this year. Both companies are challenging the NLRB's authority, despite the common use of administrative law by various federal agencies.
