Trader Joeā€™s, SpaceX, and Meta are arguing in lawsuits that government agencies protecting workers and consumersā€”the NLRB and FTCā€”are ā€œunconstitutional.ā€

Trader Joeā€™s has become the second company in a month to sue the National Labor Relations Board for being ā€œunconstitutional,ā€ following the lead of Elon Muskā€™s SpaceX, as both companies face board charges for firing employees. These two major corporations arenā€™t alone in attempting to protect their interests by undermining public institutions; Meta is also arguing in an ongoing lawsuit that the Federal Trade Commission is unconstitutional.

A legal expert told Motherboard that these companies are attempting to take advantage of what they believe is a friendly Supreme Courtā€”judges currently lean right by a six-to-three marginā€”while they can.
