[conspire] (forw) Tesla lawsuit

[Deirdre Saoirse Moen]

From March, buried in the pandemic coverage, was this piece about Tesla’s purported lack of OSHA compliance at its Alameda county plant. You know, the one about the lawsuit they filed Saturday. :P

Money shot:

> Tesla’s workplace safety faded from the headlines as the company emerged from “production hell,” Musk parlance for the period when he struggled to ramp up the Model 3 sedan. But the Cal/OSHA documents suggest the carmaker overstated the strides it was making in improving injury rates after reports by the Center for Investigative Reporting and others called attention to the issue.


Tesla wants you to think this is about COVID-19, but it’s not, really. They just don’t want to report accurate workplace safety violations or be truly accountable for same. Better (from their perspective) to move to a red state where they can pull this bullshit.
