'Unsafe, hostile' | Tesla trial hears claims of racial harassment & unanswered HR complaints

Former Tesla employees have told a California court that Black workers faced racial harassment at the company’s Fremont factory and that complaints to management went unresolved.

The testimony forms part of a lawsuit brought by the California Civil Rights Department in 2022. The state alleges that Tesla allowed harassment to persist and discriminated against Black workers in pay, job assignments, promotions and discipline. Tesla denies wrongdoing.
