Prof. Matthew Bodie Quoted in Fortune Regarding NLRB Hearing About SpaceX’s Workplace Relations

Professor Matthew Bodie was quoted in Fortune regarding an NLRB hearing in which Elon Musk and SpaceX is defending itself against allegations that it illegally fired eight employees for distributing an “open letter” that criticized Musk. SpaceX immediately sued the NLRB after being charged in January, arguing that the independent agency, tasked by Congress to protect employees who are engaging in collective action or unionizing, was unconstitutional. Professor Bodie said, “This seems much more an ideological debate than how most employers handle it. It just seems like more of a crusade, almost, than a rational economic response to litigation.”
