The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with SpaceX earlier this week, ruling that the National Labor Relations Board’s current structure is unconstitutional. The decision will keep the agency hamstrung until the case makes its way to the Supreme Court.

    Does the circuit not know that or am I thinking of something else?

    They just don’t care. It’s just like what they are doing with federal workers who can’t use strikes as a collective bargaining tool. The MSPB was made to pacify federal workers and offer some sort of protection from partisan politics.

    So trump just fired the board members so they couldn’t make a quorum, and of course the supreme Court allowed it. They are relying on the fact that most Americans are too comfortable to risk jail time to stand up for their rights.

      Its not just jail time, its a permeant black spot on your record that signals you’ll be “trouble” to employers and law enforcement both. Its legal fees, stigma, and being perpetually viewed with suspicion. I’m just trying to say it isn’t comfort, its fear.
