Tesla factory worker alleges sexual harassment

[rcp1]

In the suit, filed in California Superior Court in Alameda County, Barraza says she was subject to vulgar comments about her body, was propositioned by a supervisory lead over text message and was frequently touched inappropriately by co-workers, who she alleges brushed up against her backside multiple times a week.

The lawsuit describes “rampant sexual harassment at Tesla,” alleging “nightmarish conditions” and a factory floor that “more resembles a crude, archaic construction site or frat house than a cutting-edge company in the heart of the progressive San Francisco Bay area.” Barraza filed complaints to Tesla HR in September and October detailing her experience in the factory; the complaints were viewed by The Post. She says the company did not address the harassment. It was unclear if Tesla acknowledged the claims internally.

The article describes details from multiple women currently or formerly employed in Tesla’s Fremont factory. While this type of gross behavior isn’t unique to Tesla, there definitely seems to be a culture of tolerance. I hope the complaint succeeds and forces some changes.

This is the one in the long term that could hurt Tesla the most - both for investors and the sustainability of the EV industry. Tesla will have to clean house on the misogynist, hyper Testosteroners, sexual abusers. Secondly get a new Human Resources crew that has immunity from Board members and is bonus spiffed by employee survey results not profit or margins.

Human Resources only exists to protect the company. Not the workers.

There should be a zero tolerance policy about harassment.
