Owen Diaz turned down a $15 million dollar settlement in 2021.
A federal jury in San Francisco on Monday ordered Tesla to pay about $3.2 million to a black former employee after the electric-vehicle maker was found to have failed to prevent severe racial harassment at its flagship assembly plant in California.
A lawyer for Owen Diaz urged jurors during closing statements to award him nearly $160 million in damages. Diaz testified last week, tearfully recounting various incidents during the nine months that he worked at the Fremont factory. Diaz said the job made him anxious and strained his relationship with his son, who also worked at the plant.
Diaz had sued Tesla for violating a California law that prohibits employers from failing to address hostile work environments based on race or other protected traits.
