Tesla violated the labor laws by telling employees not to discuss pay conditions, NLRB alleges
Tesla "told employees not to complain to higher level managers about their pay or other conditions of employment," according to the regional director of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in Tampa.
The electric car manufacturer was accused by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) of telling employees "not to discuss their pay with other persons" and "not to complain to higher level managers about their pay or other conditions of employment."
NLRB claims Tesla violated the labor law
Bloomberg says that Tesla may have broken federal labor laws by telling staff members at its Orlando, Florida office to keep quiet about salaries and working conditions.
Additionally, employees are said to have been instructed by the company not to discuss the hiring, firing, or suspension of others.
According to the complaint, this incident at Tesla occurred between December 2021 and January 2022 and violates laws that prevent companies from “interfering with, restricting and coercing employees” guaranteed by the NLRB Act.
In addition, NLRB spokesperson Kayla Blado told Bloomberg that the complaint will be discussed at a hearing to be held in February. If the Tesla is found guilty, it is highly likely that it will confront with sanctions in the future.
Tesla's market value plunges sharply
Apart from this incident, the sharp decline in Tesla's market value continues. Tesla's market value fell below $350 billion. This represents a loss of $900 billion compared to its value of over $1.23 trillion nearly a year ago.
It is also worth noting that this loss is more than the combined value of all other automakers in the world.
