Tesla’s Black workers get class action approval for their racial bias lawsuit.

A judge approved the class status of a group of nearly 6,000 Black employees of Tesla who are suing the company over claims of racial bias and harassment. The employees sued the company in 2017, alleging they suffered constant, often daily racial discrimination and harassment, and that the electric car company did little to nothing to stop the behavior. Tesla is likely to appeal the ruling.

Tesla was also sued last year by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for similar reasons.
