Minority employees are one step closer to heading to trial in the hopes of getting Tesla to acknowledge and end discrimination at their Fremont plant.
On Wednesday, the First District Court of Appeal in San Francisco allowed two employees to proceed with class claims rather than submit to arbitration regarding how they were treated while working as contractors at Tesla in 2016 and 2017 before being hired as employees.
The Court of Appeal’s rejection of Tesla’s arguments was the second time the justices have the Alameda County Superior Court’s decisions rejecting the company’s arbitration ploys. Wednesday's decision agreed with the Superior Court that two of the plaintiffs, Monica Chatman and Evie Hall, only agreed to arbitrate claims arising after they became direct Tesla hires, and not race harassment claims relating to their employment at the Tesla factory through staffing agencies before that time.
