Netflix employees to stage walkout in the wake of CEO’s response to controversial Dave Chappelle special

The trans employee resource group at Netflix is planning a company-wide walkout on October 20, in protest of remarks made by joint CEO Ted Sarandos regarding Dave Chappelle’s recently released comedy special, The Closer. LGBTQ activists say Chappelle made a number of anti-trans comments in that special. Wednesday’s walkout comes after the streaming service reinstated three employees who were suspended for attending a director-level meeting they had not been invited to in order to discuss the special. Another employee was fired for leaking information about the cost of the special.
