On the Tesla production line: Dozens of former employees say they faced catcalls, groping, slurs, and harassment on the job

in the coming year with new factories, and the Fremont hub is designed to serve as the model for its future plants.

"Most people who are victims of verbal or physical abuse are hesitant to come forward," she said."These kinds of lawsuits point to a deeper endemic problem and are likely the tip of the iceberg." "The claim that Tesla faces an unusual volume of suits is inaccurate and misleading," the spokesperson said.

A Stellantis spokesperson said,"There is absolutely no truth to Tesla's comments about the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant or any other plant within Stellantis' manufacturing footprint." Vicki Schultz, a labor expert at Yale Law School, told Insider that a lack of diversity in a company's workforce is a major"risk factor" for sexual harassment.

Curran is one of 24 women who have sued Tesla in the past five years alleging that they were sexually harassed, groped, or physically assaulted, and in some cases denied pay raises and promotions. Most of the plaintiffs formerly worked at the Fremont factory. Over two dozen former employees' lawsuits said their supervisors harassed them. Tesla has filed a motion to compel Curran's case into private arbitration and the decision is pending a court hearing in May.

Under federal and state civil-rights laws, employers are required to take reasonable steps to prevent workplace harassment. If a company has no way for employees to report harassment or does nothing to stop the harassment once it's reported, for example, it can be held liable in court. It's also illegal for a company to fire an employee just because they reported being harassed.

Business insider is click bait garbage...founded by a criminal

An engineering company with lots of male geeks in their 20s? What a surprise. Companies can try, but they can’t monitor every action that their employees make. I’ve seen harassment of some sort in pretty much every place I’ve worked.
