Tesla may face a class-action lawsuit after 240 Black factory workers in California described rampant racism and discrimination.
FREMONT -- Tesla may face a class-action lawsuit after 240 Black factory workers in California described rampant racism and discrimination at the electric automaker's San Francisco 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. "To have this scope of egregious harassment right here in Silicon Valley, it's disgusting," Schwartz said, adding that it's shocking that"Tesla has allowed this kind of pervasive harassment to go on as long as it has."All of the declarants said they heard use of one particular racial slur, with more than half saying they heard supervisors and managers use that word, according to a declaration summarizing the statements.
