SpaceX Classified as Airline Equivalent, Exempt from National Labor Relations Act
By

The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
The National Labor Relations Board has determined that SpaceX should be regulated under the Railway Labor Act rather than the National Labor Relations Act, effectively classifying Elon Musk's space company as similar to an airline or railroad. This decision means SpaceX will be subject to different labor regulations enforced by the National Mediation Board instead of the NLRB, abandoning a previous Biden-era complaint against the company.
