SpaceX Faces NLRB Complaint Over Unlawful Severance Agreements

The National Labor Relations Board accuses SpaceX of enforcing illegal severance agreements, limiting employees' rights to dispute resolution and class-action participation.

• The NLRB filed a complaint against SpaceX for requiring terminated employees to sign severance agreements with unlawful clauses.
• SpaceX's severance agreements allegedly include confidentiality and non-disparagement clauses, and limit legal dispute options to arbitration.
• The complaint follows a series of legal battles between Elon Musk's companies and the NLRB, including a prior case involving the firing of employees over a critical letter.
• SpaceX has until April 3 to respond to the NLRB's complaint, with a hearing scheduled for October if no settlement is reached.
• The NLRB seeks to have SpaceX rescind the illegal agreements and notify employees of their rights.
