Two workers said they were fired from Tesla's Gigafactory in Nevada in June.
According to the lawsuit, more than 500 employees at the plant were fired.
Workers say Tesla's mass layoffs violated the U.S. Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN), which requires employers to give at least 60 days' notice before laying off workers.
"Tesla simply notified employees that their dismissal would take effect immediately," the workers said.
At this time, Tesla did not comment on the number of layoffs, and did not immediately respond to media requests for comment.
According to foreign media reports, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in an internal email earlier this month that he has a “super bad feeling” about the economy and that Tesla needs to cut about 10% of its workforce.
