In an amended complaint filed in August 2023, which sought class action status, Betancourt’s lawyers wrote that it is “common knowledge that women are routinely sexually harassed at Defendant’s facility with the knowledge of management, but without management making any real, substantive effort to correct it.”
After Rivian unsuccessfully tried to move the case to arbitration, the company and Betancourt reached a settlement in August 2024 and the lawsuit was dismissed.
Natasha Hill, an operations and manufacturing associate at Rivian’s factory, sued the company in federal court in October 2023 after another employee allegedly shared an “explicit video” of her with “numerous coworkers.” She claimed the employee continued to show the video to others even after she reported the alleged incident to her supervisors.
