Black factory workers can sue Tesla collectively; trial set for October 2024.

Advertisement A class-action trial is scheduled to begin on October 14, 2024, the same day as a separate case against Tesla brought by the California Civil Rights Department (CRD). As Wise's ruling noted, "The CRD has filed and is pursuing a parallel law enforcement action that is alleging a pattern and practice of failing to prevent discrimination and harassment and seeking an injunction that would require Tesla to institute policies and procedures that will do a better job of preventing and redressing discrimination and harassment at Tesla. In the class action, plaintiffs submitted "declarations from 240 persons who stated that they observed discrimination or harassment at the Tesla Fremont facility and that some complained about it," Wise wrote.
