Amazon has joined SpaceX and Trader Joe's in a legal challenge against the 88-year-old National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), arguing that the agency's in-house enforcement proceedings are unconstitutional. This move comes as Amazon faces scores of cases of anti-union retaliation being investigated by the NLRB. The company's argument hinges on the claim that the NLRB's structure infringes upon its right to a jury trial. This stance by Amazon is part of a broader backlash within corporate America against the federal agency tasked with enforcing labor rights.
