Six more women file lawsuits against Tesla, allege sexual harassment

You must have heard about the lawsuits against tesla earlier today, more six women filed a fresh lawsuit against them.

According to a report from The Washington Post, six more women who work at Tesla’s Fremont, California plant and service center have filed complaints against the firm.

Each woman has filed a separate action in Alameda County Superior Court, saying that she is subjected to a workplace culture of sexual harassment.

These latest complaints were filed less than a month after two other women brought similar claims against the corporation.

The six women allege that their male coworkers make sexual comments about their bodies or clothing, as well as abusive behavior such as catcalling and inappropriate touching.

Some ladies went so far as to hide their bodies by wearing baggy clothing – one lady, Jessica Brooks, claims she knotted a flannel shirt around her waist to hide her behind in order to avoid harassment.

She even used boxes to barricade herself in her office.

Brooks told The Washington Post that she informed human resources about the problem, but that she was just moved to a different work area as a result.

Other women who raised concerns about the behavior believe they received the same response as Brooks; they claim the problem was not addressed, and they were merely transferred to another part of the plant.

The Washington Post also reports that some women were hesitant to talk to HR about the problem because they believe their superiors were complicit in the abuse.
