Tesla Can’t Duck Workers’ PAGA Case Under Anti-SLAPP

Tesla Can’t Duck Workers’ PAGA Case Under Anti-SLAPP

A California appellate court upheld a lower court’s decision, rejecting Tesla’s attempt to dismiss a Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) case brought by former employees seeking personnel records. Tesla argued for protection under the anti-SLAPP statute, but the court ruled that Tesla’s refusal to provide the records did not qualify as protected petitioning activity. The workers, who are part of a larger class action alleging racial discrimination at Tesla, were exercising their rights under labor law. The court emphasized that Tesla’s actions were unrelated to any public issue in the ongoing class action.
