The University of Southern California (USC) is contesting a faculty union election petition by arguing that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is unconstitutional. This challenge follows a significant backing from non-tenure-track faculty members at USC for the United Faculty-United Auto Workers union. The university's argument aligns it with corporate entities like SpaceX and Amazon, which have similarly contested the NLRB. Critics, including faculty members and former labor officials, argue that USC's actions contradict its statement of respect for unionization and reflect an anti-worker stance.
