Musk's X faces labor board heat after firing employee over return-to-office protest

Employee Yao Yue was terminated after urging colleagues on Twitter not to resign but to let Musk fire them instead of complying with return-to-office demands.
The National Labor Relations Board filed a complaint alleging X illegally fired Yue for publicly opposing the policy.
X faces a January 30 hearing on the complaint, which alleges violation of federal law protecting workers' rights to communicate about conditions.
It's the labor board's first complaint against X, though Musk has previously faced scrutiny over anti-union activities.
Musk ordered X workers back to the office in November 2022, threatening firing for noncompliance.
