“Tesla issued a WARN letter to the Texas Workforce Commission and Mayor of Austin Kirk Watson on Monday, April 22, superseding a prior notice sent on Friday, April 19. The updated letter provided a notice to the city that Tesla will be permanently laying off 2,688 employees at its Austin facility on 1 Tesla Road, Austin, TX 78725. Terminations will begin during a 14-period day beginning June 14.
The Texas WARN letter also states that none of the employees impacted are represented by a union and have bumping rights.
Tesla issued a letter to employees earlier this month saying it is planning to lay off nearly 10% of its global workforce, or nearly 14,000 jobs in total.
This comes after the Austin-based company has faced increasing competition and declining sales in recent months that has shocked investors. In New York, Tesla employees who were laid off as of April 16 are “not expected or required to report to work” and will continue to receive wages through the remainder of their employment. “
