By terminating workers without cause after they published an open letter critical of Musk, SpaceX most likely broke US labour rules. |
Employees at the Tesla-owned SpaceX were forced to leave for criticising Elon Musk's behaviour. It has since been revealed that by sacking the workers suddenly, the firm may have broken US labour regulations. The fired employees may file a complaint against SpaceX with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Tesla may be compelled to restore the workers and pay back wages as a result.Charlotte Garden, a law professor at Seattle University, was reported as saying regarding the company's unexpected termination, "To be protected, an action needs to be concerted (definitely the case here) and it has to relate to working conditions."
After the staff members published an open letter criticising Musk's behaviour, Musk led-SpaceX cut ties with them. Employees said that Musk's actions have been "a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment for us, particularly in recent weeks" in t. The corporation was urged to "publicly confront and denounce Elon's detrimental Twitter behaviour" in the letter, which also discussed SpaceX's "No Asshole" policy.
"Elon is seen as the face of SpaceX because he is our CEO and most visible speaker, and every Tweet he sends serves as a de facto official statement from the business. That his message does not reflect our work, mission, or values must be made very apparent to both our personnel and our potential talent pool "In the letter, the SpaceX employees made a note.
People connected with the letter criticising Trump were dismissed, according to SpaceX CEO Gwynne Shotwell, who confirmed this to a daily. Shotwell wrote in the email that "the letter, solicitations, and general procedure made employees feel uneasy, intimidated, bullied, and/or furious because the message encouraged them to sign onto something that did not reflect their opinions." "This kind of overreaching action is unnecessary because we have too much important tasks to do."
Ironically, despite Musk's claims to be a supporter of free speech, Tesla does not actually allow for it. He sought to seize control of Twitter in order to promote free expression there, but he has worked to silence any of his workers who have spoken out against the business.
