SpaceX is facing fresh allegations from the National Labor Relations Board that it retaliated against workers who debated hours, pay and conditions.

When SpaceX employees gathered to hash out the work environment at their facility, the company interfered with, restrained and coerced them, the NLRB said in a Thursday filing. The filing also claims that SpaceX discouraged the employees from contacting the NLRB for assistance.

The employees who continued to meet to discuss their wages and conditions were fired, according to the labor board.

The filing is the latest in an unfolding labor battle between Elon Musks SpaceX and the NLRB.

In January, the board accused SpaceX of retaliating against a group of employees who disseminated a letter criticizing the companys work environment.

In early March, another scandal erupted at the company when a former employee came forward alleging that SpaceX fostered an environment of sexual harassment. Michelle Dopak claimed that her manager pressured her into a sexual relationship and eventually offered her $100,000 to get an abortion after she became pregnant.

SpaceX has responded dramatically, accusing the NRLB of operating unconstitutionally. The company and others under siege by the NLRB have sued the board, alleging that it is violating their right to a trial by jury.

A SpaceX Starlink launch lit up skies across the U.S. West Coast on Monday evening (March 18), leaving a dazzling trail seen for hundreds of miles.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base on California's central coast Monday at 10:28 p.m. EDT (7:28 p.m. local time; 0228 GMT on March 19). The launch vehicle carried a batch of 22 Starlink satellites to add to SpaceX's ever-expanding wireless internet megaconstellation.

In what's come to be known as the "jellyfish" effect, the dusk launch provided ideal conditions for the setting sun to light up the rocket's expanding engine plume against the darkening sky, as the vehicle climbed high into Earth's atmosphere.

The launch site at Vandenberg Space Force Base is notorious for its overcast and extremely foggy conditions, so Monday's clear skies were a relatively rare treat for onlookers.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, SpaceX shared photos of the launch.

Many X users responded to SpaceX's post, sharing their photos of the Falcon 9 jellyfish, which could be seen in neighboring states. "I can see it from my rooftop in Arizona," wrote Brandon D. Schilling (@BrandoSchil).

Observers at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles were also treated to the sky site, as the Falcon 9's trail stretched above the busy city low on the horizon.

Monday's launch was the 10th mission for this particular Falcon 9 first stage, which landed downrange on SpaceX's droneship "Of Course I Still Love You" in the Pacific Ocean shortly after liftoff. The rocket's second stage continued to orbit, successfully deploying the 22-satellite payload in low Earth orbit (LEO).

SpaceX's Starlink megaconstellation currently consists ofmore than 5,500 satellites, and continues to grow. A recent test launch of the company's giant Starship vehicle included a payload bay door designed to deploy SpaceX's next-generation Starlink satellites, expected to add thousands more to the network once in operation.
