This is the best summary I could come up with:
The complaint by a regional official at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) accused SpaceX of violating the workers’ rights under federal labour law which allows co-workers to jointly advocate for better working conditions.
The NLRB’s general counsel acts like a prosecutor and brings cases to the five-member board appointed by the organisation’s president.
In October, the NLRB accused X, formerly known as Twitter, of illegally firing an employee over tweets challenging the company’s return-to-office policy.
Electric car maker Tesla has also faced several NLRB complaints, which included allegations of race discrimination at its factories.
In August, the US Department of Justice sued SpaceX, alleging it discriminated against refugees and asylum seekers in its hiring practices.
At the time, Mr Musk posted on X: “US law requires at least a green card to be hired at SpaceX, as rockets are considered advanced weapons technology”.

It seems unlikely the DOJ wouldn’t research legal hiring requirements before filing suit.
