Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Tesla, Inc.
This is a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against Tesla, Inc. The EEOC alleges that since May 29, 2015, Tesla has subjected black employees at its manufacturing facilities in Fremont, California to severe or pervasive racial harassment and created a hostile work environment based on their race, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC also alleges that Tesla retaliated against black employees who opposed actions they perceived to be unlawful employment discrimination. The EEOC seeks various forms of relief, including permanent injunctions, back pay, reinstatement, and punitive damages. The EEOC has requested a jury trial.
