A former Twitter — aka X — employee filed legal action through the U.S. National Labor Relations Board, alleging that she was fired in retaliation for challenging the company.

Behind-the-scenes accusations of Elon Musk's controversial takeover of Twitter — now called X — is coming to light in court filings. A former employee, Yao Yue, who worked as a principal software engineer, said she was illegally fired late last year in retaliation for her internet posts that challenged the company's return-to-office policy, according to legal action filed Friday by the U.S. National Labor Relations Board.

Ms. Yue alleges that Twitter chose her for layoff in retaliation for her attempt to organize her co-workers not to resign, so they would have better legal footing to challenge any separation from Twitter," the document said, according to CNBC. The complaint accused X of "interfering with, restraining, and coercing employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed." The company has denied wrongdoing in the cases in which it has filed responses, Reuters reported.
