Trader Joeās, SpaceX, and Meta are arguing in lawsuits that government agencies protecting workers and consumersāthe NLRB and FTCāare āunconstitutional.ā
Trader Joeās has become the second company in a month to sue the National Labor Relations Board for being āunconstitutional,ā following the lead of Elon Muskās SpaceX, as both companies face board charges for firing employees.
