“Amidst all the stress, I am trying to take one day at a time and focus on my health,” they said in an interview with The Verge. B., who is 35 weeks pregnant, is now about to lose their health insurance. After Pagels-Minor was fired, Bloomberg continued to publish stories containing internal metrics about Netflix shows.
The narrative then spread in the media, though employees who spoke to The Verge said they didn’t believe it was true. In a carefully worded statement, Netflix implied Pagels-Minor was the source behind a Bloomberg story that contained internal metrics about how much Netflix paid for The Closer. For employees, the best-case scenario outside of settling is getting reinstated with backpay and forcing Netflix to post a notice that workers are allowed to engage in protected activity. If it finds the allegations have merit, it can try to secure a settlement or, if that fails, issue a complaint. (This is common at large tech companies, though both Google and Activision Blizzard have recently ended forced arbitration due to employee organizing efforts.) The NLRB investigates all charges it receives. But it’s also an easier choice than filing in state court, as both Pagels-Minor and Field signed Netflix employment agreements that require them to resolve disputes in private arbitration, a process that tends to favor the employer. It’s about supporting your coworkers and speaking up for things you care about.” Filing with the NLRB supports the goal of collective action. “The charge is all about collective action. It’s about trying to change the culture and having an impact for others,” says attorney Laurie Burgess. They say Netflix’s actions were designed to stop workers from speaking out about their working conditions, including the desire to create a safe environment for Netflix staff. Now, the employees are filing unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board. In the charge, Field says she and hundreds of other Netflix employees were invited to attend the meeting. The company said Field was suspended for attending a director-level meeting she wasn’t supposed to, though it reinstated her after finding no ill intent. Netflix said it fired Pagels-Minor for allegedly leaking confidential information - a charge they have categorically denied.
Terra Field, a trans software engineer, was suspended after posting a viral tweet thread about the issue. Pagels-Minor, a Black trans program manager, was fired while organizing a walkout related to Netflix’s support of Chappelle’s comedy special The Closer, which has been widely condemned as transphobic. Two Netflix employees at the heart of the Dave Chappelle controversy have filed labor charges against the company, alleging the streaming giant retaliated against them for engaging in protected activity. Apparently posting confidential financial information and gaining entry to meetings you aren't invited to are now protected activities quote:
