Tesla Didn't Disclose Death During Gigafactory Construction: Report

Tesla, the car manufacturer and energy company, did not disclose a worker’s death that occurred during the construction of their Gigafactory in Nevada, according to a report by The Guardian. The employee, who was contracted through a third-party company, died in 2018 from injuries sustained on the job. Tesla allegedly never reported the incident to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). This lack of transparency goes against Tesla’s reputation for worker safety and environmental sustainability. The company has faced criticism in the past for its treatment of workers and for failing to disclose workplace injuries. The report highlights the need for more accountability and transparency in the construction industry. Workers’ lives should not be hidden in the name of corporate reputation. The tragic death of the worker in Tesla’s Gigafactory is a sobering reminder of the dangers that workers face every day on the job and the importance of transparency and accountability.
