US Labor Board Drops Case Against SpaceX Over Severance Policies

• The US National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has withdrawn a complaint against SpaceX regarding its severance and arbitration policies, including confidentiality rules.
• This decision resolves one part of a larger legal dispute where SpaceX challenged the NLRB's constitutional structure.
• The complaint originated from the NLRB's Seattle office in March 2024, alleging illegally coercive terms.
• NLRB's acting general counsel, William Cowen, indicated this specific case was not ideal for a Supreme Court challenge.
• The NLRB is also re-evaluating another complaint against SpaceX from its Los Angeles office, questioning its jurisdiction.
