Former employee sues Tesla

First there was the tiff with transmission supplier Magna, followed by potential development partner Fisker, and now Tesla is facing a class action lawsuit from former Director of Public Relations, David Vespremi.
Vespremi ended up on the cutting room floor during the tornado that swept through the company ranks at the end of 2007. According to Tesla VP, Darryl Siry, the firings were centered on slacking employees and mismanagement. However, Vespremi obviously did not agree.

Even departed founder, Martin Eberhard, did not see rationalization in the reorganization that occurred. With that kind of reaction, it was not too surprising to see the suit get filed. The details of the lawsuit allege that Tesla Motors did not practice good faith or fair dealing, violated labor codes with unpaid wages and waiting periods, and utilized unfair business practices. The document also listed libel and slander due to the harsh words spoken from the mouths of executives to the media when referencing the former employees.
