an engineer who was suspended and eventually reinstated, and B. Pagels-Minor, a product manager who was fired. Netflix said its actions against the employees didn’t arise from their criticism of Chappelle’s transphobic and homophobic humor.
Instead, the company said, Field was suspended for trying to attend a meeting to which she hadn’t been invited, and Pagels-Minor was terminated for leaking internal data to the press.
The workers dispute this.They filed their complaints Wednesday with the NLRB, an independent agency of the federal government tasked with investigating unfair labor practices, which is what they say Netflix engaged in.
