On Thursday, California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing went public with a lawsuit against Tesla. The agency alleges racist harassment of and discrimination against Black workers. DFEH is asking the court to compel Tesla to end their unequal treatment of black employees, pay damages, and reinstate wrongly terminated workers. On Wednesday, Tesla wrote in the blog post that the DFEH lawsuit filing was “misguided” and “a narrative spun by the DFEH and a handful of plaintiff firms to generate publicity.”
