EEOC Sues Tesla, Alleging Company Tolerated Racial Harassment and Retaliation Against Black Workers

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sued Tesla, alleging the company tolerated severe racial harassment of Black workers at its Fremont, California factory.
The EEOC claims Tesla failed to investigate complaints of racist conduct and retaliated against workers who reported harassment from 2015 to present.
The lawsuit adds to discrimination claims already filed against Tesla by the state of California and employee lawsuits.
The EEOC tried unsuccessfully to reach a settlement with Tesla after finding reasonable cause that Tesla violated federal workplace discrimination laws.
Tesla faces several other race discrimination lawsuits with similar claims of tolerating harassment and retaliation against Black workers.
