Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Sues Tesla over Racial Abuse of Black Workers

HeadlineSep 29, 2023

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has sued Elon Musk’s electric car manufacturer Tesla for allowing rampant racial abuse of Black workers at its plant in Fremont, California. Tesla is also accused of retaliating against workers who raised objections to the racist harassment. In a statement, the federal agency said, “Black employees regularly encountered graffiti, including variations of the N-word, swastikas, threats, and nooses, on desks and other equipment, in bathroom stalls, within elevators, and even on new vehicles rolling off the production line.”
