An employee has sued the US electric car maker because she and her colleagues say they were constantly exposed to sexual harassment while working at a Tesla plant in California. From the beginning, she worked at the Tesla plant in Fremont in a misogynistic environment, but despite her complaints, management did nothing about it, according to the lawsuit filed by Jessica Barraza.
Tesla’s public assurances “to promote a safe and respectful environment for its employees” are only a facade, said Barraza. At the plant in Fremont, women had experienced a different reality: for three years, their colleagues had been degraded to “objects” every day by their colleagues and sometimes by their superiors, and had been “groped and turned on”.
Relocated after complaint
Although she complained several times to superiors and a representative from the human resources department, nothing was done. On the contrary, she feels that she has been the victim of retaliation. Among other things, she was transferred after a complaint.
