Tesla’s accused of violating nationwide labor legal guidelines by allegedly telling workers at its Orlando, Florida location to not discuss pay and dealing circumstances, as first reported by Bloomberg. In a criticism filed in September, the Nationwide Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) regional director in Tampa claims Telsa “informed workers to not complain to increased stage managers about their pay or different circumstances of employment” and stated “to not talk about their pay with different individuals.”

The criticism goes on to accuse Tesla of instructing workers to not talk about the hiring, suspension, or termination of workers with others. These incidents occurred from December 2021 to January 2022, the criticism alleges, and violates legal guidelines that forestall firms from “interfering with, restraining and coercing workers within the train of rights assured” by the NLRB Act. In an announcement to Bloomberg, NLRB spokesperson Kayla Blado says a decide will hear the arguments laid out by the criticism throughout a February listening to.
