Six extra girls sued Tesla yesterday, alleging that the corporate did not cease rampant sexual harassment at manufacturing facility amenities in Fremont, California, and repair facilities within the Los Angeles space.
The lawsuits are just like one filed final month by worker Jessica Barraza, who alleged that she and different girls working within the carmaker’s Fremont manufacturing facility have been subjected to “nightmarish circumstances of rampant sexual harassment,” together with offensive feedback, propositions, and “frequent groping on the manufacturing facility flooring.” Barraza alleged that managers and human sources personnel failed to guard her regardless that she complained repeatedly.
The lawsuits filed yesterday “element particular situations of harassment that every lady skilled, and the shortage of motion from Tesla when these claims have been reported,” based on a press launch from regulation agency Rudy Exelrod Zieff & Lowe, which represents Barazza and the six different girls. “Those that complained have been generally threatened into silence or confronted undesirable transfers. The message was clear, there can be no penalties for abusers. The six girls describe an surroundings during which it was regular for girls to be catcalled, ogled, touched inappropriately, and propositioned.”
