Sharonda Taylor et al. v. Tesla, Inc.
Case No. 23CV028922
Tesla employees involved in a class action lawsuit alleging racial discrimination at Tesla’s Fremont factory sought their personnel records through Bryan Schwartz Law and co-counsel under the California Labor Code (Section 1198.5). Tesla declined to provide complete records, among other things claiming a stay in the Vaughn v. Tesla case. The Superior Court rejected Tesla’s anti-SLAPP motion, determining that the right to obtain personnel records was separate from the Vaughn litigation. The California Court of Appeal upheld this ruling, finding that Tesla’s refusal was not protected under the anti-SLAPP statute and did not relate to a matter of public interest. The parties settled with Plaintiffs obtaining $550,000 for the Labor Workforce Development Agency and 766 workers who requested their files, plus attorneys’ fees and costs, plus a requirement that Tesla produce the workers’ files.
