NEW YORK – Tesla workers in New York state are launching a unionisation campaign, teeing up a potential first for the electric-vehicle maker and the latest labour challenge for chief executive officer Elon Musk.
If successful, the union would be a first for Tesla, which unlike other leading automakers has successfully resisted unionisation at its US factories. In addition to increased pay, the employees said they aim to secure a say in workplace decision-making, and to curb monitoring, metrics and production pressure.
“The narrative on unions has shifted thanks to Starbucks and other companies doing it first,” especially for Gen Z workers who make up a large share of the Autopilot staff, said employee Keenan Lasch. A bipartisan group of US labour board members ruled in 2021 that Tesla repeatedly violated federal law in Fremont, including by “coercively interrogating” union supporters and firing one because of his activism. Tesla has denied wrongdoing and is appealing that ruling.
