Judge finds Tesla liable to Black former worker who alleged bias:
company ignored racial abuse at the factory where he worked, but reduced a nearly $137 million jury award to $15 million.
In a 43-page decision, Orrick said the evidence amply supported the jury's finding Tesla liable for the"profound" emotional harm Diaz suffered and the"often inadequate" disciplinary steps the company took. "We're pleased that the court upheld the jury's finding that Tesla's conduct was absolutely reprehensible," Alexander said.
Tesla previously called that lawsuit misguided, and said it has adopted policies to prevent and punish racist conduct.

Judge finds Tesla liable to Black former worker who alleged bias, but slashes payout(Reuters) -A federal judge said on Wednesday Tesla Inc was liable to a Black elevator operator who said the electric car company ignored racial abuse at the factory where he worked, but reduced a nearly $137 million jury award to $15 million. U.S. District Judge William Orrick in San Francisco ruled after jurors last October found that Tesla subjected Owen Diaz to a hostile environment at Tesla's factory in Fremont, California by allowing and failing to stop the racism he faced. Diaz, who worked at the plant for nine months in 2015 and 2016, said other employees used racist slurs when speaking to him, and scrawled swastikas and slurs including the 'N-word' on bathroom walls.
