Tesla sued for racial discrimination, retaliation by EEOC

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has filed a lawsuit accusing Tesla of subjecting Black workers to racist slurs and graffiti, while failing to address complaints and retaliating against those who reported harassment.
The EEOC's lawsuit, which follows failed settlement talks, seeks compensatory and punitive damages for Black workers, as well as an order for Tesla to revamp its discrimination and retaliation policies. Tesla also faces similar claims from the California Civil Rights Department.
This lawsuit adds to the growing number of race discrimination cases against Tesla, including a class action by workers at the Fremont plant and a lawsuit by a California civil rights agency.
