TESLA SUED BY FORMER EMPLOYEES OVER MASS LAYOFF

The lawsuit was filed late Sunday in Texas by two workers who said they were terminated from Tesla’s gigafactory plant in Sparks, Nevada, in June. According to the suit, more than 500 employees were terminated at the Nevada factory.

The workers allege the company failed to adhere to federal laws on mass layoffs that require a 60-day notification period under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, according to the lawsuit. They are seeking class-action status for all former Tesla employees throughout the United States who were laid off in May or June without advance notice.
