A judge found Black employees “experienced conditions that might reasonably be characterized as race harassment.”
FREMONT, CALIFORNIA – JULY 18: Production associates work on Tesla Model X at the Tesla factory in Fremont, Calif., on Tuesday, July 17, 2018. A judge has found Black workers faced years of widespread “race harassment” at Tesla’s Fremont electric car factory, opening the door for thousands more claims charging the automaker with mistreatment.
The statements, and others provided to the court by Tesla, “suggest that over a period of approximately eight years Tesla workers in the Fremont factory heard the n-word and otherwise experienced conditions that might reasonably be characterized as race harassment,” Wise wrote. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment Wednesday on the lawsuit and claims in other similar legal actions.” at the facility — which makes the company’s Model S, Y, X and 3 cars — and “Tesla’s repeated failure to rectify it.”
The lawsuit will cover people who worked at the factory between November 2016 and the date of the judge’s order on May 17, Wise wrote. “It is unclear whether Tesla was aware at all times or became aware of the alleged pervasive race harassment at a certain time; whether Tesla changed the number of HR personnel responsible for responding to complaints of race harassment at a certain time; whether Tesla changed how seriously it took complaints of race harassment,” Wise wrote.
