Tesla (TSLA) is facing a federal lawsuit alleging the company fired or retaliated against human resources employees who validated reports of workplace racism at its Fremont, California, factory, according to a court filing Thursday.
The lawsuit also accused the company of disability discrimination, wrongful termination, and failure to prevent discrimination, the filing showed.
The complainants, including five former HR employees and a senior security manager, are seeking damages and a jury trial.
"These plaintiffs individually and collectively voiced concerns, objections, and complaints about the discriminatory and retaliatory practices that Tesla officials engaged in at the Fremont facility and, as a consequence, they were each pushed out of their Tesla employment," according to the complaint.
Tesla didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
