NEW YORK TIMES COVERAGE

The New York Times published a lengthy piece on the litigation by journalist Laren Helper on November 30, 2018, and it can be accessed at https://nyti.ms/2rxNLPm. According to the New York Times,

"One suit accusing Tesla of racial discrimination and harassment, filed last November in California Superior Court, seeks class-action status. The lawyers involved ? Lawrence A. Organ and Bryan Schwartz, whose practices focus on workplace rights ? say they have identified dozens of potential plaintiffs. Each lawyer has won multimillion-dollar judgments in other harassment or discrimination cases against major employers. Tesla is seeking to move the case into arbitration, which would require workers to bring individual lawsuits rather than a joint claim.

The state's Department of Fair Employment and Housing says it has issued 10 "right to sue" letters ? a precondition for a discrimination lawsuit ? to employees complaining of racial bias at the Fremont plant. Dozens of other complaints against Tesla are pending, but the agency would not say how many involved race."
