The U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has announced it will suspend an administrative case against SpaceX, pending the company's legal challenge against the agency's structure. The case involves accusations that SpaceX illegally fired engineers who were critical of CEO Elon Musk. The NLRB informed a Texas federal judge of its decision, indicating that pausing the case could expedite the resolution of SpaceX's claims that the agency's in-house enforcement violates the Constitution. The NLRB asked a Texas federal court for a ruling in connection with the agency proceedings over the terminations of SpaceX workers.
