SpaceX on Thursday filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Labor Board, which accused the space rocket company of violating labor laws by illegally firing its past employees.

SpaceX’s lawsuit claims that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has a false structure and violates the U.S. Constitution.

SpaceX also mentioned that federal law only allows board members and administrative judges to be removed for cause, and not at will, the NLRB’s structure is unconstitutional.

Therefore, the lawsuit from SpaceX now seeks to block the NLRB case.

A federal judge in Brownsville said that the U.S. Constitution required administrative judges at the Justice Department to be appointed by the president and not the attorney general as they currently are.

Other than SpaceX, NLRB is also facing a similar lawsuit from a Starbucks employee who opposed unionization of the New York store at her workplace.
