Netflix employees staged a ‘Stand Up in Solidarity’ walkout, to protest the streaming of comedian Dave Chappelle’s new comedy special

“brb walking out,” Most, an LGBTQ-themed social media account run by Netflix, said in a tweet Wednesday.

LGBTQ activists say Chappelle made a number of anti-trans comments in that special

“If your satire is punching down, you are being a bully. It’s not funny. So I’m standing in solidarity with the folks here at Netflix who are saying, ‘we ain’t having it.’ Not on our watch.#NetflixWalkout pic.twitter.com/UOyMCKTBDp

Ashlee Marie Preston, a Black transgender activist who helped plan the rally, said they’re here to let Ted know that if he won’t stand up for their rights “we will” – referring to Netflix co-CEO.

Netflix’s trans employee resources group released a list of demands for the company ahead of the walkout.

“We want the company to adopt measures in the areas of content investment, employee relations and safety, and harm reduction, all of which are necessary to avoid future instances of platforming transphobia and hate speech,” employees said in the document, which was first reported by the Verge.

The walkout comes after the streaming service reinstated three employees who were suspended and another employee who was fired for leaking information about the cost of the special.

Airbus faces manufacturing issues with A320 fuselage panels, impacting shares but confirming safety for in-service aircraft.

Airbus is confronting a fresh manufacturing issue after discovering a quality defect in several dozen fuselage panels used on A320-family jets. The revelation sparked investor concern, with shares falling by up to 10% as the news broke.

While the newly identified flaw has caused some delivery delays, Airbus confirms that aircraft already in service are safe and unaffected. The defect is limited to a specific batch of panels, and all new production now meets required standards.

The company has apologised for the disruption and says it is working closely with suppliers to prevent a repeat of the issue.
