☆ Tesla settles with Black worker who won two trials over racist discrimination

Attorney Lawrence Organ, with the California Civil Rights Law Group, who represented Diaz told CNBC via e-mail: "The parties have reached an amicable resolution of their disputes. The same firm is representing current and former Tesla employees in a proposed class action lawsuit, Marcus Vaughn v. Tesla Inc., alleging that the racist discrimination and harassment of Black workers has continued at the automaker. Organ told CNBC by phone on Friday, "It took immense courage for Owen Diaz to stand up to a company the size of Tesla. Even though the litigation chapter of his life is over, there's still a lot of work to do for Tesla." Tesla has called the EECO's allegations "a false narrative that ignores Tesla's track record of equal employment opportunity."

☆ Tesla faces new race bias trial from employee who had $137 million verdict cut

Last year, a judge slashed the $137 million verdict that the jury awarded in 2021 to plaintiff Owen Diaz, one of the largest ever in a U.S. workplace discrimination case. Diaz's lawyers rejected the lower payout and opted for a new trial on damages. After the 2021 trial, U.S. District Judge William Orrick agreed with a jury that Tesla was liable for race discrimination but cut the verdict to $15 million. As at the last trial, Diaz and several employees and managers at the Fremont, California plant are expected to testify. Orrick last year reduced the compensatory damages to $1.5 million and the punitive damages to $13.5 million.
