Former Ford worker awarded $17M in discrimination lawsuit
Attorneys claim the worker's superiors "berated" and ultimately fired him for having a Lebanese accent. A former Ford engineer has been awarded nearly $17 million in a discrimination lawsuit.Attorneys representing Faisal G. Khalaf argue that Ford created a hostile work environment, allowing supervisors to treat him unfairly based on his Lebanese background, according to a Detroit Free Press report."There was a high-level executive ... that would berate him and criticize him week after week about his English," said attorney Carol Laughbaum.The lawyers claim Khalaf's supervisor would "literally pound his fist on the table and yell" about his English. He was allegedly terminated after a subordinate came to him with a sexual harassment complaint and was instructed by Khalaf to file a report with human resources. After an 11-day trial, jurors awarded Khalaf $15 million in punitive damages, $1.7 million in retirement and pension losses, and $100,000 for emotional distress."We don't believe … [Read more...] about Former Ford worker awarded $17M in discrimination lawsuit

one-vehicle crash in Brentwood, California. Fortunately, rescuers were able to extract the man, who appeared to escape serious injury after he had crossed into the wrong lane and hit a utility pole on the driver’s side door. The impact sheared off the pole, sending the Yellow ZR-1 off the road and over a drainage ditch before landing upside down in an orchard. “I’m going to list (his injuries) as minor,” Capt. Craig Auzenne of the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District said. “He had zero complaints to us. We’ll see what happens when he gets to the hospital and they start taking pictures.” The driver was carried by ambulance to the trauma center at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek. A medical copter was summoned to the scene, but paramedics eventually decided it wasn’t necessary to use it since the driver’s injuries appeared minor. Auzenne told The Press that the extraction was complicated because the car was on its roof … [Read more...] about [ACCIDENT] Emergency Workers Free Trapped Driver Following a C4 Corvette ZR-1 Rollover Crash
U.S. Labor Agency Files Amended Complaint Against Tesla For Alleged Worker Rights Violations
The National Labor Relations Board has filed an amended complaint against Tesla, reigniting a fight between the independent government agency and the automaker over alleged workplace violations. Tesla is reeling from a particularly troublesome week, after a safety regulator launched an investigation into a deadly crash involving a Model X and Moody’s downgraded the automaker’s credit rating, potentially making it more expensive for it to borrow money. Tesla’s stock price took a nosedive in response to the news. Now the automaker has to address claims from the NLRB. Last August, the labor agency filed a complaint against Tesla, saying it found merit to allegations previously made by Tesla employees about unfair labor practices. The filing came after months of organizing by pro-union employees who were supported by the United auto Workers. A hearing was scheduled for mid-November, but the NLRB had postponed it to investigate new claims brought by workers. After months … [Read more...] about U.S. Labor Agency Files Amended Complaint Against Tesla For Alleged Worker Rights Violations
