Employees Accuse Tesla of Discrimination, Harassment, Retaliation, and Wrongful Termination
Dozens of current and former Tesla, Inc. employees filed a lawsuit in Alameda Superior Court on July 1 alleging the electric car giant operates under a “pre-Civil Rights” atmosphere of racial discrimination as a standard operating practice.
This mass action alleges the plaintiffs were subjected to racially motivated harassment and intimidation in Tesla factories which were transformed into racially hostile work environments. The lawsuit names tech giant Tesla, as well as managers and supervisors who allegedly perpetuated constant racism and discrimination at Tesla.
“It’s hard to imagine a workplace culture that these hard-working people had to endure day after day, having to live through racist comments and abusive behavior,” said attorney Mike Arias. “Hearing story after story of employees being subjected to this level of disgusting and threatening behavior and language is still almost unbelievable.”
