Tesla files a petition against U.S. labor board order
Yahoo Finance ^ | Sat, April 3, 2021 | Reuters

Last month, the NRLB ordered Tesla to direct Musk to delete the tweet and to post a notice addressing the unlawful tweet at all of its facilities nationwide and include language that says "WE WILL take appropriate steps to ensure Musk complies with our directive."

In the 2018 tweet, Musk wrote: "Nothing stopping Tesla team at our car plant from voting union. Could do so tmrw if they wanted. But why pay union dues & give up stock options for nothing? Our safety record is 2X better than when plant was UAW & everybody already gets healthcare."

The NLRB also directed Tesla to offer one former employee reinstatement as well as to rescind 2017 rules that prohibited distributing union literature in its parking lot on non-work time and rules that barred distributing union stickers, leaflets, and pamphlets without first obtaining permission.

How is the tweet illegal if protected by the first amendment?

There’s no enumerated power for them to even exist as an agency.

They’re using it as the “nose under the tent” to censor anti-union speech by CEOs in general. It starts with one tweet, it ends with all such speech banned.

But those people have the means to fight it. You dom’t hang the first amendment at the door when you go to the office. Sure, your company can fire you for saying things they don’t like, but the government can’t.
Then again, as we enter what Mussolini called “corporatism”, big business and the government are really one in the same.

It took this long to steal the election and change the makeup of the NLRB.

Adorable of not, there’s still no enumerated power for this agency.

Elon's got to get a fixer, like [redacted] has. That's all he really needs.

How so?

Is there an enumerated power to regulate things which affect interstate commerce but what are not actually interstate commerce?

It’s adorable that you think that is or ever has or ever will stop the left from doing whatever it wants.

Oh, that.

No, the so-called “progressives” were scum well before Wilson or FDR and among their earliest features was the desire to haul us away from the genius of our founding to become something more French, even after the first French Republic went to hell in a hand-basket (proving that the insipid belief that it didn’t work before because the wrong people were in charge is simply how nitwits roll) ... so I’m under no delusions about what those shat out into the ideological cesspool of progressivism (and the especially fetid backwaters that have managed to accumulate even in that) are capable of.

Still, just as it’s rare for them to be right about anything it’s even rarer that what they do is something they’ve a lawful power to do and I’ll never stop pointing that out.
