After a year and a half, they suddenly admit the claim and in the next breath present a document requiring the plaintiff to return to work three days later, at a different facility that would require an additional 3 hours commuting each day.
I wonder how many years of this person’s salary were burned in trying to defend this case. Glad they get to return to their job finally.

Money has nothing to do with it, Elon hates unions and would rather burn a billion dollars than let his peons have a say.
Strong labour laws implies you can’t just send an employee to work somewhere else without good reason and I’d be surprised to learn you can do that in Japan. (Though Japan does keep surprising me)
Japanese companies do it a lot. I’m not sure how much of a right to refuse there is. Some families live apart because of it (husband usually lives somewhere else). I’ve heard it can be a case to fire with cause in some cases but I don’t know specifics.
Relocation with advanced notification is legal
Well yes, that’s reasonable. I’m assuming “advanced” does not mean “get packing, mate, you’re moving tomorrow”.
I think it was 3 months of notice (for me). Same as for firing because this is effectively the same
Yeah, that’s what I figured and it’s similar in Germany. The original scenario might work in the US with their employee-hostile nonsense laws but this is Japan and Tesla has tried and failed before to apply US law in their international branches.
There is no PR stunt that will cleanse the stain dripping from the owner & CEO. Hopefully their sales finish tanking the rest of the way to zero, sooner rather than later.
Well, a complete divestiture of Musk’s ownership and control plus the removal of the entire Musk sycophantic Board of Directors would do it for me.
More then 50% of musk wealth is in Tesla stock. Even if he gets removed, a healthy Tesla is a dangerous musk
A 100% divestiture of ownership means Musk would own 0% of Tesla stock at the end of that exercise.
Every story like this leads to a “Tesla stock crash” story and by the time you check TSLA price, the stock has only increased.
Lawyer: "It is unacceptable for foreign
Go on…
It’s just unacceptable for foreign, maybe it’s also forbidden to foreign
Musk = POS Nazi.
Oh, if he’s a Nazi, then prove it by showing a picture of him doing a Hitler Salute twice while at a presidential inauguration!
He did what‽ 😉
Proud of you Japan. Way to kick those bastards in the dick.
Any other source? Yahoo JP hasn’t been available here for years.
This is the original source (that provided the article to Yahoo JP), can you read it?
Edit: Wayback Machine Link
See, funny story, I’m a dumbass who, since I haven’t accessed Yahoo JP in forever, totally didn’t clock that the article would be in Japanese, which seems obvious in hindsight. And while I’d be able to survive in a larger city in Japan, my Japanese is too rusty for actual newspaper articles. PicardFacepalm.png
So all your effort was for naught and I apologise and thank you for wasting your time on me, 申し訳ございません。
Haha, don’t worry about it, I think Yahoo JP block Europe due to GDPR and I figured someone might want to put it through a translation site or, dare I say it, LLM of their choice.
