Tesla is the next biggest union target in the United States. Sorry, Elon Musk | Hamilton Nolan

If Musk doesn’t like that, he’s welcome to settle it with an auto worker by cage match

Oh yes please

If the UAW prevails on 30%+ wage hike, and/or 4 day week Tesla won’t have any option other than doing some sort of high wage increase or reduced hours. Not doing so will almost certainly cause its workers to unionize.

I wonder if the UAW would settle for a 9 day 2 weeks, might be harder to plan work around though for the manufacturers than a consistent 4 day

The GM plant near me currently does alternating 6 day and 5 day weeks, I'm not sure if that's the same across all of their plants but there is already precedent within their system for inconsistent week lengths.

Interesting, I had no idea.

Seems like a potential meet in the middle option then. Guess we’ll see how it plays out.

Wouldn’t you just do half day fridays or something?

If the uaw gets 32 hour work week included in their union contract I have a feeling a lot of other unions will be forming ASAP.

His mom won't let him have a cage match. This would have to be settled with negotiations.

If I could have 1 wish: Elon Musk in a mech suit vs the entire union

Is that gonna be by the same team that made Tesla bot?

You know the one that never actually walked in the demo videos, and was never actually shown placing anything down, or really moving much of anything at all?

I think I’d be safer standing next to Elon in a Tesla mech suit than I do standing and waiting for a train, something Elon also wasn’t able to build.

Hahaha excellent burn! And you’ve proven my point lol It’d be one sided :D
