Workplace Discrimination

Tesla (TSLA) lawyer defends use of the N-word by employees in workplace discrimination case

Tesla's lead lawyer, Tyree Jones, defended the use of the N-word by employees at the company's Fremont factory, claiming it can be a 'term of endearment' within the Black community. This defense comes as thousands of Black employees allege rampant workplace discrimination, with claims of racial slurs being used hundreds of times daily and the factory being described as a 'slaveship' or 'plantation'. Racist imagery has also reportedly been found in the factory.
