15 Black Tesla employees, both former and current, are suing the corporation for allegedly failing to prevent racial discrimination at its Fremont, California manufacturing. The case, which was filed in a California court last week, contains workers’ claims of racist slurs, disparaging comments, and racially motivated workplace harassment.
According to the petition, workers claim that their coworkers often used the N-word and other racist or discriminatory terminology to describe the factory’s work atmosphere, such as “slavery” or “plantation.” Furthermore, Tesla allegedly left racist graffiti on toilet walls, benches, lockers, and workstations that included the words “KKK,” the N-word, and swastika drawings.
