A former SpaceX supervisor is accusing the company of “despicable conduct” regarding its safety practices, claiming, among other things, that chronic understaffing was resulting in severe injuries the overworked employees were “too fearful to report.”
In a scathing civil lawsuit filed initially in state court and removed to Los Angeles federal court last Friday, Robert Markert describes raising “strong concerns” about revising a technical process that could “easily cause serious injury or death.” However, Markert’s complaint contends, SpaceX opted to keep things as-is because it was “more economical.”
