Elon Musk’s X Corp. illegally fired an employee in retaliation for her internet posts challenging its return-to-office policy, the U.S. labor board alleged in its first formal complaint against the company.
In a Friday filing, a regional director of the U.S. National Labor Relations Board accused the company — formerly known as Twitter — of violating the federal law that prohibits punishing employees for communicating and organizing with others about their working conditions. The complaint, issued on behalf of the agency’s general counsel, said the company “has been interfering with, restraining and coercing employees in the exercise of rights granted” under U.S. labor law.
A spokesperson for San Francisco-based X didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Complaints issued by NLRB regional directors are considered by agency judges, whose rulings can be appealed to labor board members in Washington, and from there into federal court. The agency can order policies changed and workers reinstated, but it lacks authority to fine companies with punitive damages or hold executives personally liable for violations.
