Tesla asks judge to pause suit alleging ‘rampant racism’ against Black workers

judge to pause a lawsuit against the company alleging widespread racial discrimination at its flagship assembly plant.said the state should further investigate allegations brought against it by the state’s department of fair employment and housing and allow a chance to settle the litigation.that Black workers in the company’s Fremont factory experienced “rampant racism” that the company left “unchecked for years”.

The company added that the DFEH violated a state law requiring the agency to take various steps before suing an employer. Tesla is seeking to pause the lawsuit for 120 days and force DFEH into mediation to address the claims with the company outside of court.Tesla is also facing a separate suit from the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and claimed in its filing that the DFEH may have rushed to file its lawsuit in February as part of a “turf war” with the federal agency.

The DFEH last month lost an attempt to block an $18m settlement between the EEOC and Activision Blizzard in a sex discrimination case. The agency had said the settlement could interfere with its own sex bias lawsuit against Activision. DFEH did not immediately respond to a request for comment. An EEOC spokesperson said the agency did not comment on pending investigations.

The suits against Tesla are two of many facing the company and its chief executive, Elon Musk. Investors at Twitter
