Workers of America! If Elon Musk backs tRump then you back'em too because Musk has your back!
Tesla accused in lawsuit of cheating California workers out of wages | Reuters
https://www.reuters.com/legal/tesla-accused-lawsuit-cheating-california-workers-out-wages-2024-04-05/" They claim Tesla violated various California labor laws by failing to pay overtime and provide meal and rest breaks, not providing paid sick leave or reimbursing employees for work-related expenses, and failing to provide written descriptions of quotas that workers were required to meet.
Tesla did not respond to a request for comment on the accusations.
The lawsuit comes as Tesla is trying to fend off claims in multiple lawsuits that it tolerated rampant race discrimination and harassment of Black workers at the Fremont plant and other California facilities. The company has denied wrongdoing.
Last week, a federal judge declined to dismiss a case by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which enforces federal anti-discrimination laws. Tesla is also being sued by a California civil rights agency and a class of 6,000 workers, and recently settled a lawsuit by a Black former factory worker on undisclosed terms after a jury awarded him $3.2 million.
Tesla is also facing claims that CEO Elon Musk violated workers' labor rights by suggesting in a 2018 tweet that employees would lose stock options if they unionized, and that the company illegally interfered with a union drive at a New York facility. Tesla has denied wrongdoing in the New York case, and has said Musk in his tweet was merely pointing out that most unionized workers do not receive stock options."
*USA TODAY exclusive: Hundreds allege Donald Trump doesn't pay his bills
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/06/09/donald-trump-unpaid-bills-republican-president-laswuits/85297274/"Donald Trump often portrays himself as a savior of the working class who will "protect your job." But a USA TODAY NETWORK analysis found he has been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits over the past three decades and a large number of those involve ordinary Americans, like the Friels, who say Trump or his companies have refused to pay them.
At least 60 lawsuits, along with hundreds of liens, judgments, and other government filings reviewed by the USA TODAY NETWORK, document people who have accused Trump and his businesses of failing to pay them for their work. Among them: a dishwasher in Florida. A glass company in New Jersey. A carpet company. A plumber. Painters. Forty-eight waiters. Dozens of bartenders and other hourly workers at his resorts and clubs, coast to coast. Real estate brokers who sold his properties. And, ironically, several law firms that once represented him in these suits and others.
Trump's companies have also been cited for 24 violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act since 2005 for failing to pay overtime or minimum wage, according to U.S. Department of Labor data. That includes 21 citations against the defunct Trump Plaza in Atlantic City and three against the also out-of-business Trump Mortgage LLC in New York. Both cases were resolved by the companies agreeing to pay back wages."
