Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>O) shareholder sued the electric car maker, Chief Executive Elon Musk and its board, accusing them of neglecting to tackle complaints about workplace discrimination and harassment, and engendering a \u201ctoxic workplace culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s lawsuit is the latest against Tesla, which has been accused of racial discrimination and sexual harassment in its factories. read more<\/p>\n

\u201cTesla has created a toxic workplace culture grounded in racist and sexist abuse and discrimination against its own employees,\u201d the investor, Solomon Chau, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis toxic work environment has gestated internally for years, and only recently has the truth about Tesla\u2019s culture emerged,\u201d he added in the complaint.<\/p>\n

\u201cTesla\u2019s toxic workplace culture has caused financial harm and irreparable damage to the company\u2019s reputation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tesla did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment outside regular U.S. business hours.<\/p>\n

Kendall Law Group PLLC, the lawyers representing Chau, were not available outside regular U.S. business hours.<\/p>\n

Tesla has said it does not tolerate discrimination and has taken steps to tackle workers\u2019 complaints.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit accuses the defendants \u2014 Musk, 11 Tesla board members and the company \u2014 of having breached their fiduciary duty by failing to address and remedy the red flags concerning internal reports of discrimination and harassment.<\/p>\n

This caused Tesla to lose high-quality employees and incur costs for defending cases and settling fines for violations, the lawsuit said.<\/p>\n

The case is Chau et al v. Musk et al, US District Court, Western District of Texas (Austin), 1:22-cv-00592.<\/p>\n
