Do you see the problem? The reindeer pull a sleigh carrying Santa Claus. So, wouldn't Santa's weight impact the terms and conditions of their employment? Aren't Rudolph, Blitzen, Cupid, and Dancer all co-workers? It's no secret that the NLRB has been cracking down on employers who infringe upon employees' protected concerted activity via social media. When employees discuss problems with the terms and conditions of their employment (which they seem to be doing here) they are likely engaging in protected activity under the NLRA.
For bonus points, do you see any defenses? What if Santa's morbid obesity (700 pounds!?) constituted a disability? Could disciplining the reindeer be a lawful step toward preventing hostile work environment disability discrimination?
See how much fun this is!?
