Eight former employees of SpaceX have filed unfair labor practice charges with a U.S. labor board against the rocket maker, alleging they were let go for speaking up against founder and Chief Executive Elon Musk.
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.
