Tesla broke labor legal guidelines by telling employees to not focus on pay, NLRB claims

Tesla’s accused of violating nationwide labor legal guidelines by allegedly telling workers at its Orlando, Florida location to not speak about pay and dealing situations, as first reported by Bloomberg. In a grievance filed in September, the Nationwide Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) regional director in Tampa claims Telsa “advised workers to not complain to greater degree managers about their pay or different situations of employment” and mentioned “to not focus on their pay with different individuals.”

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