Eight former SpaceX employees who were fired after circulating an internal letter criticizing Elon Musk have filed charges claiming they were unlawfully fired. Unfair labor practice charges for the "retaliatory firings" were filed yesterday with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the former employees' law firm said in a press release.

"The charges allege that SpaceX violated the National Labor Relations Act by terminating the employees for engaging in protected concerted activity," the Lieff Cabraser law firm said. "Specifically, the employees were fired for being part of a larger group that drafted a letter to SpaceX's executive team expressing concern about recent allegations of sexual harassment by CEO Elon Musk, and his harmful behavior on Twitter that hurt the company's reputation and also the company culture."
