Black Workers at Tesla File Class-Action Lawsuit, Saying Tesla Is "Hotbed for Racist Behavior"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Black workers at Tesla's Fremont, California factory have filed a
class-action lawsuit accusing Tesla of being a "hotbed for racist
behavior." A former African American worker at Tesla says he was
routinely called the N-word while working at the factory, and that after
he complained, he was fired for not having a positive attitude. Tesla is
also facing lawsuits accusing the company of discriminating against LGBT
workers and older workers.
