Tesla may face a class-action lawsuit after 240 Black factory workers described rampant racism and discrimination at the electric automaker’s Bay Area plant.
Tesla may face a class-action lawsuit after 240 Black factory workers described rampant racism and discrimination at the electric automaker’s Bay Area plant, including frequent use of racial slurs and references to the manufacturing site as a plantation or slave ship.
The individual testimonies are part of a 2017 lawsuit brought by Marcus Vaughn, who complained in writing to human resources and to Tesla CEO Elon Musk of a hostile work environment in which he was called slurs by co-workers and supervisors. No investigation was conducted and he was fired for “not having a positive attitude,” according to his lawyers.
Last year, California regulators sued Tesla in state court, alleging the company turned"a blind eye” to abuses and that Musk told workers to be “thick-skinned” about racial harassment. In April, a federal jury awarded another former Tesla employee $3.2 million for racial abuse he suffered.
