The employees said on Thursday they were fired for being part of a group that had drafted and circulated a letter to SpaceX executives in June criticizing Musk, the world's richest person, and urging executives to make the firm's culture more inclusive.SpaceX fired at least five employees
who were involved in drafting the letter, which called Musk a "distraction and embarrassment" to the company. The charges filed on Wednesday with the National Labor Relations Board allege that SpaceX fired five employees the day after the letter was revealed, and four others in the two months after. While two of the employees filed charges on their own, attorneys filed charges on behalf of six others who are proceeding anonymously.
U.S. labor law prohibits employers from firing workers who band together to advocate for better working conditions. When the NLRB finds that firings violated the law, it can order that workers be reinstated and given back pay.
Rightly so! You go out if your way to disparage your employer in public, and you expect to be rewarded? You don't want to work for the man, JUST LEAVE!!!
And Joe “demented” Biden colluded with his son.
My parents taught me when to keep my mouth shut .
Sounds like they should have shut their mouth and done their job. When you decide your going to be an activist against your boss that's what happens. Grow up people. That crap you learned in college doesn't work in the real world.
Musk empire unravelling.
They are useful elsewhere, it's not even news.
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you!
Why is this news? I was fired when I was 19 for the same reason, I learned my lesson.
这也是马斯克成功的原因，够狠。杀伐果断。
Of course, that's biz relationship.
insubordination and so !!
In all honesty this is not really news for any boss, even Elon. In real life if you fuck with the boss, the boss gets rid of you. You should be embarrassed for reporting this.
“Free speech absolutist”
That's called insubordination.
That's called insubordination.
どこの会社もやってるだろ！🤣
Why would they speak up against their ex-employer?! If they were not happy, that's better for them. Afterall, business is business. I might not like Elon but he is entitled to put things in place.
Mayne don't talk shit about your boss? Hmmm....let's move on....
Życie
Believe it or not, as rude as I am, I have never ever badmouthed any employer (that I wanted to work with again).
So. If I would have spoken out about my boss I would expect to be fired...why is this even a question?
Employee rule 1 Don't fuck with the owner.
America mostly is 'at will' Unless you work for your parents..become awake not just woke and learn some tact already. Sheesh.
Are the wheels coming off of the Musk train?
Bet they won't do that again.
And that is why the US needs High Level Employee Protection Laws that Prohibits Bosses to even Think about Firing their Employees if they speak up 🙂 The Principle of 'Hire and Fire' is Dogshit and needs to End Now! 🙂
Why the obsession with this man? This isn’t news.
So?
こらロイター！お前らの会社もそうだろ？🤣
ElonMusk be like
Hardly surprising. The Elongated Muskrat is so emotionally fragile.
Musk is giving them the opportunity to work and receive a good salary. on top of that they speak ill of him. fired! good! Musk has to have loyal people and not hypocrites!
Elong Maaaaa and the DNC Welfare Checks
I work at a Fortune 500 company. If I were to go online and trash our CEO…. I would be fired as well. Give this narrative a rest.
Musk is firing lover
The king of free speech! What a fraud!
Yiii Why No Pls Mr Elon dont Behave Like your Friend Trump We Like you Pls
free speech?
And? This is a complete nonstory Reuters. Why don't you try speaking against Steve Hasker and see how well that works out for you.
Really And what did they want to say loud? Jokers
Makes sense.
this is normal...
SpaceX is doing well. Incredible innovations! If employees are unhappy, they cannot produce such results. No one is perfect. They cannot make everyone happy!
Strike the Shepherd and the Sheep Will Scatter Trouble in a group often starts with a single individual who stirs the pot. You need to stop them before others succumb to their influence. Neutralize their influence by isolating or exposing them. Their followers will scatter
And your point is?
logical reaction.
so like a normal job?
Free speech has consequences
elonmusk doesn’t care about free speech.
Rightly so. Jak Kuba Bogu, tak Bóg Kubie. 👆Polish proverb.👆
