Electric-vehicle startup Lucid Group Inc. illegally fired two employees because they joined and supported the United Auto Workers, US labor board prosecutors alleged in a complaint.
In a Tuesday filing, a regional director of the US National Labor Relations Board accused the automaker of violating federal law by threatening, transferring, and retaliating against employees, agency spokesperson Kayla Blado said in an email. The complaint also alleges that the company confiscated union literature and created the impression workers’ activities were under surveillance, she said.
