Tesla told to pay ex-worker $3.2m over racism case
Electric carmaker Tesla has been ordered to pay almost $3.2m to a black former worker after he won a racial harassment lawsuit.
On Monday, Mr Diaz was awarded $3m in punitive damages and $175,000 in damages for emotional distress. In the original lawsuit, Mr Diaz alleged that African-American workers "encountered a scene straight from the Jim Crow era" at the firm's plant in Fremont, California. The lawsuit also said that employees would refer to areas where black or African-American staff worked with racist historical names, such as "the plantation".In 2021, a federal court in San Francisco found that Tesla did not take reasonable steps to tackle the abuse, despite complaints to supervisors.
