(Reuters) - Tesla has settled a lawsuit by a former factory employee who says she was fired for complaining about severe sexual harassment, as the electric carmaker faces a series of other cases alleging workplace sex and race discrimination.
U.S. District Judge William Orrick in San Francisco dismissed Tyonna Turner's 2023 lawsuit on Monday, one day after she and Tesla informed the judge of the settlement. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Turner worked at Tesla's flagship Fremont, California assembly plant, where the company is accused in a number of lawsuits of failing to address rampant harassment of Black and female workers. Tesla has denied wrongdoing.
