In a lawsuit filed June 13, three workers – one U.S. citizen and two with work permits – accused Gotion, its parent company, China-based Gotion High-Tech, and Gotion Supervisor Chen Li of racial discrimination and unlawful termination, according to The Mercury News. The lawsuit, filed in Alameda County Superior Court, claims Gotion maintained a “revolving door” of Chinese citizens coming into the country on B-1 visas to work at the battery plant, where Li allegedly referred to non-Chinese workers as “foreigners.” B-1 visas allow foreign citizens into the U.S. for up to six months to conduct consulting with business associates, attend conferences, negotiate contracts, or participate in short-term training, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The lawsuit included screen shots of text messages involving workers acknowledging their illegal work arrangement, as well as allegations Gotion utilized a Gotion High-Tech lawyer from China not authorized to practice law in the U.S. who “advised Gotion how to impermissibly violate U.S. immigration laws,” according to The News.
