Tesla will have to defend itself against claims of foreign worker abuse
A federal judge has ruled that Tesla and two of its subcontractors -- Eisenmann Corp and ISM Vuzem -- will have to defend themselves in a lawsuit that alleges foreign workers were mistreated at Tesla's Fremont factory. The allegations surfaced in 2016, when Gregor Lesnik filed a lawsuit against Tesla and its subcontractors that claimed they exploited foreign workers by paying them less than minimum wage, giving them few days off and threatening them with deportation or no pay when they called in sick or tried to report a job injury. The suit, which seeks class action status, is being brought forward on behalf of workers with B-1 visas employed at construction sites and auto plants.
