Tesla chief Elon Musk praises China again

The US agency in charge of enforcing labour law on Thursday filed a complaint against <a href="http://www.wionews.com/business-economy/over-60000-orders-of-tesla-model-3-cancelled-18552">electric car maker Tesla</a> saying it found merit to workers&#39; complaints about unfair labour practices.

According to the National Labor Relations Board complaint, <a href="http://www.wionews.com/videos/wion-wallet-tesla-starts-solar-roof-installations-at-home-4403">Tesla </a>violated workers&#39; rights by requiring them to sign a confidentiality&nbsp;agreement that could bar them from talking about their working conditions and safety issues at the&nbsp;company&#39;s facility in Fremont, California.

The agency also investigated charges by the workers that Tesla intimidated and harassed them and violated workers&#39; rights under federal labour law.

Tesla has denied the allegations.

The company must respond to the charges by Sept. 14. The NLRB has scheduled a hearing for Nov. 14 before an administrative law judge in Oakland, California.

&quot;These allegations, which have been filed by the same contingent of union organisers who have been so outspoken with media, are entirely without merit,&quot; <a href="http://www.wionews.com/science-tech/tesla-3-musks-addition-to-his-eco-friendly-cars-18362">Tesla </a>said in a statement.

Complaints were filed by three employees and the United Auto Workers union, which has encouraged Tesla employees to unionize.

The workers said <a href="http://www.wionews.com/science-tech/musk-hands-over-first-tesla-model-3-electric-cars-to-early-buyers-18373">Tesla</a> made them sign a document that they may face termination or criminal prosecution for speaking publicly, or to the media, about anything they observed at work or their working conditions, NLRB said.
