Tesla broke U.S. labor law by silencing workers, official rules
Inc supervisors at a Florida service center violated U.S. labor law by telling employees not to discuss pay and other working conditions or bring complaints to higher level managers, a U.S. labor board official has ruled.illegally silenced workers in 2021 after some of them complained that new hires were being paid more, according to the decision issued Tuesday by National Labor Relations Board Administrative Law Judge Michael Rosas.
The ruling is the latest loss for Tesla before the labor board as it also faces lawsuits alleging widespread race and sex discrimination at its assembly plants.According to the decision, in late 2021 employees became aware that new hires at the collision center were being paid a higher hourly rate than existing workers.
Supervisors at the service center held a meeting where they instructed the facility's 25 employees not to discuss their pay and other working conditions and not to file complaints with higher level managers, Rosas said. Weeks later, the technician who had complained was fired, according to the decision.
Tesla had argued that it had quickly repudiated the managers' comments by posting a notice in the service center that Tesla policy allowed workers to discuss their pay.
