Trader Joe’s, Amazon, Starbucks and SpaceX have all made this argument to various courts. If they prevail, then there will be no one in charge of enforcing federal labor law.

At one end of this process is a boss who doesn't want to recognize a union - and at the other end are farmers dying of heat-stroke.
