NLRB Files New Complaint Against SpaceX Over Illegal Severance Agreements
The complaint accuses Elon Musk's company of engaging in unlawful labor practices, intensifying the legal battle between SpaceX and the labor board.
- The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has filed a new complaint against SpaceX, alleging the company made workers sign illegal severance agreements that included confidentiality and non-disparagement clauses.
- This legal action is part of an ongoing dispute between SpaceX and the NLRB, with SpaceX challenging the constitutionality of the NLRB itself.
- SpaceX is accused of retaliating against employees who were involved in drafting a letter critical of the company's management and culture, as well as those discussing wages and employment terms.
- The NLRB's complaint demands that SpaceX notify former employees about the unenforceability of the alleged illegal provisions and remove certain clauses from its hiring paperwork.
- SpaceX has not yet responded to the allegations, and the case may proceed to an administrative law judge if no settlement is reached.
