US Appeals Court Rules NLRB Structure Unconstitutional in Win for SpaceX
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the structure of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) violates the U.S. Constitution. The decision stems from a challenge brought by SpaceX contesting the agency’s authority. The court held that the removal protections for NLRB administrative law judges infringe on the president’s executive power. This marks a significant setback for the agency overseeing labor rights enforcement in the U.S. The verdict could lead to broader legal challenges against other regulatory bodies.
This ruling may reshape how tech and other industries engage with federal labor regulators going forward.
