US sues Tesla over alleged ‘pervasive racial' abuse against Black workers

[Aljazeera] A government anti-discrimination agency in the United States is taking legal action against Elon Musk’s Tesla, accusing the company of allowing the "pervasive racial harassment" of Black workers at its flagship California car factory, and taking retaliatory action against those who complained.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a federal body, said Black workers had routinely endured stereotyping, racial insults and hostility since at least 2015.

The court action, which follows a breakdown in mediation, adds federal charges to discrimination claims already filed by the state of California, lawsuits by individual Tesla employees, and a class action suit involving about 240 workers.

The electric car company "subjected Black employees at its manufacturing facilities in Fremont, California ... to severe or pervasive racial harassment and created and maintained a hostile work environment because of their race," the lawsuit said.

"The racial misconduct was frequent, ongoing, inappropriate, unwelcome and occurred across all shifts, departments and positions," the commission said.

The suit said the factory walls had graffiti that included swastikas, nooses and threats, with some of it allegedly on vehicles rolling off the production line.

The commission said Black workers routinely endured racist slurs including variations of the "N-word," along with "monkey" and "boy".

"Slurs were used casually and openly in high-traffic areas and at worker hubs," according to the commission.

Tesla announced last year that the EEOC had formally raised concerns about the situation at the factory.

What do you call questions whose answer lies within the question itself?

Erik Prince - Another very successful thinker, innovator, and entrepreneur. He got in, got out, and got far away from the crooked bastards. Sometimes it pays to listen to your older sister.

Tesla having an EEOC problem is it? You tried finding a fuel pump for a Dodge Omni lately? Men like Musk don't have problems, they have solutions.

#6 What's this?
The LSD's are playing a RACE CARD, because he must be vilified and brought under control.

But Wait. He was born in South Africa. He became a US Citizen therefore he is a 1st generation African-American. So the LSD's are really playing a COLOR card.

BUT REMEMBER THIS.
Before Musk owned Twitter. They loved him, praised him and revered him from during the Obama Admin and all the way up into the Biden Admin. Then he bought and freed Twitter and because a LSD enemy.

eg: Obama’s State of the Union speech is one, giant hug for Elon Musk

He got in, got out, and got far away from the crooked bastards. Sometimes it pays to listen to your wife. Perhaps you remember Westmoreland's famous, head turning comment about the Light Bringer:

"He's kinda uppity."

#10 Whelp.

When showing up on time and working your hours is racist.

You lose your creds.

Top that with a certain number of Black workers must be hired.

And the behavioral tendencies of all peoples who think they can't be fired no matter what.

I admire how its framed that only White people are being accused, but it does beg, why then only Black workers?

I'd love to see the profiles of the plaintiffs.

#11 If you pick anyone that the left doesn't like, and then attach a charge that they feel they can make work against anyone because of structural bs: -Racist!-.
This is how you get to at black policicians being accused of white supremacy. It's because they've already identified the desired outcome, and you are at fault for not arriving at it.

#14 Racism?

The question might better be whether
Unethical birds of a feather,
Black, yellow, red, white,
Elon's billions in sight,
Are lightheartedly working together.
