(Reuters) – Supervisors at Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: NASDAQ) violated US labor law by telling employees not to discuss wages and other working conditions or file complaints with higher-level managers, a US Business Council official said.
Managers at the Orlando repair shop illegally silenced workers in 2021 after some of them complained that new hires were receiving higher salaries, according to the decision Tuesday by National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Administrative Law Judge Michael Rosas.
The judge ordered Tesla to cease and desist from violating workers’ rights, post a notice of the violation at a service center, and email it to employees.
The ruling is Tesla’s latest loss to the works council as it also faces lawsuits alleging widespread racial and gender discrimination at its assembly plants.
Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
