Elon Musk FIRES Unionizing Tesla Workers

Tesla has fired dozens of workers at its Buffalo gigafactory, one day after workers there announced a unionization campaign.

The following morning, Tesla managers said would be an employee benefits workshop. Instead, when workers arrived, they were terminated.

Tesla is notorious for union-busting.

Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are the richest people on the planet and still view their workers as a threat. Their wealth was built on the backs of their hard work.

Rich man breaks law, nothing happens. Tale as old as time.

I really hate how people think musk wants to improve human life. He's just like all the other billionaires. His dream is a dystopian future.

[Passionate_Potato]

When you don't have a union, they can fire you for no reason. Tesla is demonstrating the importance of a union.

I've been hyper capitalist as a younger guy but as I've gotten older I kind of understand the ugly side of capitalism I would like to see more unions and co-ops and mutual aid organizations from here on out

And faces NO Consequences. If he does, it's Financial. Not Prison. Prison WILL Stop these actions. But it won't happen.

Elon made sure I'm never buying a tesla.

[FeebleAntelope]

They need to walk out now. Shut it down.
They don't get to have their worker-generated profits without good faith negotiations.

Every layoff I've been through has been like that. (not at Tesla) One time they had fifty of us in a training room and a cop walked in the door. I immediately told everyone this isn't a meeting its a layoff.

Elon musk is the reason I will never own a tesla. Treat your workers right. Support right to repair.

[dissonanceparadiddle]

The company would do a lot better if they got rid of Elon and just ran it as a co-op

[Dave--FkTheDeepstate]

I used to think Elon/Tesla was great, but illegal union busting is fuk'd up!

[turntff]

I personally think the technology/Tesla isn’t quite there yet in terms of safety. I’ll gladly wait another 10 or 20 years to get one, especially if Elon isn’t involved anymore.

[Laughing-Man]

Of course he does. He's capitalism incarnate.

[Perspectiveon]

Man ..Rich ppl really pis me off. They shy no means to fulfil their greed. The money game has to end someway or other.

[VirtousStoic]

You expect the control freak who personally signs every job offer In his company anywhere in the world to care about people

He's literally the epitomy of selfishness

Achieve at any cost

[CH-cdum]

Unionizing is the only way to stop this type of employee abuse. With a union not even Elon Musk could fire you, without getting sued with a case he would lose.

[eleanoraquitaine]

He has always despised workers (those who made him rich). They need to find jobs with employers who like them.

[birkett]

It should be a criminal offense with mandatory jail time for every manager who is involved in firing people for joining a union. Board of directors too.

[liloreoinya]

I mean of course. 😂 It's Elon. He finessed people to think he was progressive because he pushed electric vehicles. But it's always about money. His money.
