SpaceX hit with new NLRB complaint over severance agreements, dispute resolution rules

Source: CNBC

Published Fri, Mar 22 2024 6:04 PM EDT


The National Labor Relations Board accused SpaceX in a new complaint of entering into unlawful severance agreements with terminated employees nationwide.

The unfair labor practices complaint comes two months after SpaceX filed a federal lawsuit challenging the legality of the NLRB’s oversight authority, and after the federal agency in a separate complaint accused the company of illegally firing eight workers who had criticized its CEO Elon Musk in an open letter.

The new NLRB complaint claims that SpaceX included unlawful confidentiality and non-disparagement clauses in severance agreements and that it unlawfully limited the terminated workers’ ability to participate in other claims against the company.

It also alleges that the rocket maker and satellite internet company maintained an unlawful rule that required workers — as a condition of their employment — to sign an agreement for arbitration and dispute resolution, and to waive their right to receive money in class-action lawsuits against the company.

I personally know of one young relative of a friend who was injured working at a Tesla factory.
He was treated like shit and unceremoniously bounced out of the company while on disability for his injury.

A close family member worked at SpaceX in Cali in a high stress position. After a year on the job, he was offered a $.10 cent an hour raise. He soon quit.

Musk is a fascist ASSHOLE. Anti-union. Anti democratic. And a Putin dick licker. Starlink should be confiscated by the US government before something REALLY BAD happens....
