What to Know About the Controversy Surrounding Dave Chappelle's Latest Netflix Special

A Netflix software engineer and former employee filed labor charges with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming that Netflix retaliated against them for "speaking up" about how the company dealt with the backlash of Chappelle's special. According to The Verge, the charge was filed by B. Pagels-Minor, who was fired for reportedly leaking company information, and Terra Field, who was temporarily suspended for attending an executive meeting.

"This charge is not just about B. and Terra, and it's not about Dave. It's about trying to change the culture and having an impact for others," attorney Laurie Burgess told the outlet in a statement. "The charge is all about collective action. It's about supporting your coworkers and speaking up for things you care about."
