Mark Gruenberg at People’s World reports that if the comments by members of the Supreme U.S. Court’s Right-Wing Majority supporting the idea of a “unitary executive” were not enough to convince people that they were out to kill Workers’ Rights, their decision not to hear a lawsuit by the Office and Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU) and the National AFL-CIO against Elon Musk that would protect the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) should make the Jurists’ intentions perfectly clear. The Supreme Court decided to not let the Labor Organizations make their case - and that means trouble for Workers nationwide, because the OPEIU and the National AFL-CIO sought to defend the NLRB against the attempt by Musk and other billionaires - including Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, to declare the Board unconstitutional. That leaves the NLRB defenseless. The Union, backed by the National AFL-CIO, tried to step in to defend the Board when President Donald Trump’s Justice Department predictably would not. And without comment, the Justices - in SpaceX vs. NLRB, turned the Unions down, declaring they won’t let the Labor groups argue the case. OPEIU “is extremely disappointed in the Court’s refusal to review a Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in the SpaceX v NLRB case,” the Union told People’s World. “The Court denied OPEIU the ability to defend the National Labor Relations Board’s authority and to protect Workers’ ability to seek justice for Labor Law violations with the agency.” OPEIU added the High Court’s ruling, without comment, is part of a trend from Trump’s regime and the Court.
