Hi,

Amazon is joining the claims in Elon Musk’s baseless lawsuit against the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) calling the worker protection agency “unconstitutional.”1 If they win, it’ll be a disaster for working people everywhere.

Musk, head of SpaceX and Tesla, and Amazon, started by billionaire Jeff Bezos, have formed a powerful coalition to attack the NLRB. Amazon has engaged in union-busting tactics, and just like Musk, has put workers through terrible working conditions. This case is nothing more than billionaires’ attempts to stifle working people’s right to organize and basic workplace protections.

But here’s the good news: Congress has the ability to step up to protect and fund the NLRB so workers and unions across the country are protected.

Sign the petition: Tell Congress to fund the NLRB and protect workers’ rights.

SpaceX and Amazon are trying to avoid accountability for their illegal actions, including retaliating against workers trying to unionize. They know what they’ve done is wrong, but rather than own up, they’re set on undoing decades of worker protections.

It’s time for Congress to step up and make sure the NLRB has the resources it needs to ensure our hard-won rights aren’t destroyed by corporate greed and billionaire executives.

Add your name: Congress must stop corporate billionaires and protect the NLRB.

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
