03:08 PM EDT, 09/06/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Amazon.com ( AMZN ) on Thursday filed a lawsuit against the National Labor Relations Board for allegedly for unconstitutional administrative proceedings.

The NLRB, including General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo, acted unconstitutionally by acting as both prosecutors and judges in cases that impact the company, according to the lawsuit filed with the US District Court for the Western District of Texas Thursday.

Amazon ( AMZN ) also said the NLRB's board members were unconstitutionally insulated from removal by the President, violating Article II of the Constitution.

The company asked the court to halt the NLRB's proceedings and prevent the agency's board from pursuing any further actions until the constitutional issues were resolved.

The NLRB did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
