SpaceX Investigated By California Institution For Cases Of Discrimination And Sexual Harassment

JAKARTA The California Department of Civil Rights (CRD) is investigating SpaceX, Elon Musk's private exchange company, on charges of discrimination and sexual harassment against women.

These allegations stem from a group of engineers involved in a case of a violation of the employment law filed by the National Labor Relations Council (NLRB). These engineers were fired for criticizing Elon Musk.

The six workers involved, quoted from Reuters, said that SpaceX's office, located in feasibility, California, did not provide job opportunities and career promotions for women. The company prioritizes men.

In addition, SpaceX is also accused of paying female workers lower than men's salaries despite their similar work, avoiding sexual or harassment comments, and responding to complaining engineers.

"SpaceX tolerates, forgives, and allows work environments that are not friendly to female employees and all genders that reject discrimination and harassment," the workers said in a written statement.

Lauriection, a lawyer for six workers who were fired by SpaceX, said engineers filed a complaint with the company so other engineers could work comfortably in a safe workplace, but these complaints were ignored.

According toctions, SpaceX is too focused on its ambitious goal of landing on Mars. This focus is detrimental to its employees because SpaceX tends to ignore the convenience of workers and does not comply with the civil rights of employees.

SpaceX insists that nothing is more important than its mission to reach Mars. Our client had the same vision, but was fired for daring to demand SpaceX adhere to basic civil rights while doing so, "explained cap.

Elon Musk's company must provide a response until the end of this month. If SpaceX does not speak up, CRD will decide to reject employee accusations or try to mediate the settlement of the case.

If a settlement has been filed by CRD, but an agreement between former employees and SpaceX has not been reached, the state agency will grant permission to former SpaceX workers to sue or file their lawsuits again.
