Two Former Tesla Employees Sue, Claiming "Musk's Unfair Dismissal"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Haeyoung] Bloomberg reported on the 20th (local time) that two Tesla employees sued the company at the U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), claiming they were unfairly dismissed after criticizing Elon Musk, the CEO.

According to the complaint, they argued that Tesla's strict office return policy and Musk's related tweets violated the company's workplace harassment prevention regulations. Subsequently, Tesla fired the two employees citing "attacks against the company" as the reason.

The two employees claimed, "We were dismissed for mentioning the failure to strengthen workplace harassment prevention and to implement the post-COVID office return policy."

In May, Musk issued a strict office return directive, stating, "All Tesla employees must work at least 40 hours per week in the office."

Earlier, SpaceX workers, where Musk is also CEO, sued the company at the NLRB, alleging unfair dismissal. They claimed in an open letter that they were fired after pointing out Musk's distracting and disruptive behavior and demanding corrective action from the executives.

Meanwhile, Tesla's stock price has fallen 58% so far this year.
