A federal agency has sued Tesla over alleged widespread racist harassment of Black workers and retaliation against those who spoke out about the issues.
David Paul Morris | Bloomberg | Getty Images, accusing Elon Musk's electric car maker of violating "federal law by tolerating widespread and ongoing racial harassment of its Black employees and by subjecting some of these workers to retaliation for opposing the harassment."The federal agency responsible for enforcing civil rights laws against workplace discrimination announced it was filing the suit against Tesla on Thursday.
In its complaint, the EEOC alleged that non-Black offenders at Tesla "bandied slurs and epithets openly" around high-traffic work areas around or on the vehicle production lines. Allegedly, supervisors and managers witnessed the racially offensive conduct but failed or refused to intercede. When Black workers at Tesla reported the "slurs, insults, graffiti and misconduct" to Tesla's human resources department, employee relations teams or other managerial personnel, the agency said Tesla failed and refused to take steps to address the behavior.
