In a motion submitted at the US District Court for the West Texas District, the lawyers asked the judge “to limit the ability of Tesla to continue to find release from employees with one week of severance pay,” reported Techcrunch.
The plaintiff accused that the company did not provide a 60 days in advance required by the federal law during layoffs.Tesla workers John Lynch and Daxton Hartsfield were asked to go last month from Gigafactory 2 Tesla in the State of Nevada in the US, along with more than 500 other employees.
The motion has been looking for class action status in the name of “employees who do not have a reason to find out their rights or that this case has been submitted on their behalf.”When Musk announced to cut 10 percent of Tesla’s workers, those who were fired down to social media and professional network platforms to register their situation after their dream of working in an electric car maker had a sudden accident.
Electric car makers began to stop the employee who was paid after Musk announced last month to cut the workforce, which would result in reducing the number of Tesla employees by around 3.5 percent.Tesla employs more than 1.00,000 people in all of its facilities.The company also reportedly showed the exit to around 200 workers from its autopilot team and closed the office in California.
