Excerpts from the article "Amazon and SpaceX aim to defang the federal labor board. Trump may help. | More than two dozen corporations are pursuing legal action against the agency that protects labor organizing as Trump weighs challenging its legal structure by firing Democratic board members." (Washington Post):

Donald Trump’s presidential administration is poised to oversee major cuts to the powers of the federal agency that protects unions, as corporations including Elon Musk’s SpaceX barrage the National Labor Relations Board with lawsuits and Trump allies consider firing its Democratic members.

This week, Amazon, the nation’s second-largest private employer, and rocket maker SpaceX, founded by Trump adviser Musk, argued in federal court that the structure of the NLRB is unconstitutional. They are among two dozen cases working their way through the courts that seek to drastically rein in the board’s power.

Trump advisers have separately discussed taking the exceptional step of firing Democratic members of the five-person labor board, according to two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal discussions.

...

The president-elect has indicated he plans to broadly rein in federal regulators and said last week that Musk will co-chair the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, an outside body created to recommend deep cuts to federal agencies.

Musk has previously said he disagrees “with the concept of unions” and joked this summer in a conversation with Trump on the social media platform X about firing striking workers.

...

The flood of legal challenges against the NLRB began when SpaceX sued the board in January. The suit followed a board complaint alleging that SpaceX illegally retaliated against employees who claimed they had been wrongfully fired in 2022 for signing a letter accusing its chief executive, Musk, of bullying and intimidation.

...

[...] Amazon’s involvement stems from its attempts to stop the unionization of warehouse workers on Staten Island after they voted to do so in 2022.
