He’ll close Tesla completely before he allows this. So win win
Doubtful the rest of the Board of Directors would vote yes on that motion. He only owns like 27% of Tesla. If people wanted to unionize, bet you he wouldn’t even close down 1 factory. He’ll just double down on his anti-democratic anti-worker rhetoric.
He’s still by and large the majority shareholder compared to anyone on the board, and they’re all basically his puppets. They’re all propped up by him and sit on the boards of his other companies, so they really can’t vote against him, lest they incur the wrath of the Musk.
Are you a Ford/GM investor by any chance?
How has the biggest name in EVs become so hated here? I get that Lemmy wants to see everyone in an apartment, but not everyone is going to migrate to the city. Is Lemmy suggesting those that stay in rural areas just keep driving gas powered cars?
In case you haven’t noticed, real auto manufacturers with decades and decades of experience have caught up. Tesla is going to get it’s lunch eaten.
I definitely want more competition in the area. Tesla has some obnoxious practices that competition will force them to improve. But without Tesla we would not have the charging stations we have now. We would be stuck with the occasional plug in hybrid. Legacy manufacturers were simply not advancing.
Elon musk bought a great business and is ruining the image, but they are still awesome cars compared to gas. Even if they completely fail now, I’m still glad they were around to force others to innovate.
I agree that Tesla lit a fire under the other auto manufacturers asses. I absolutely give credit where credit is due. But now, they’ve got competition, and Tesla’s reputation for quality and reliability ain’t great.
Because all he is is a name. Over the last several years, he’s demonstrated that he’s an entitled, racist moron who confused money with actual intelligence.
Lose Elon, Gain Respect.
I’d say Amazon and then FedEx, but I’m cool with unionizing Tesla
Tesla is the best target because of optics and (more so) the presence of an already-existing very strong union in the space. UPS has its union and they could reasonably easily move into FedEx shops, but it’s not the scale or power of the UAW. And, nothing similar exists at all in Amazon’s industry. The best case for both of those comes from a policy and statutory push to implement sectorial bargaining. This also solves the even bigger issue of nonunionized retail and hospitality workers.
FedEx is being deliberately destroyed by Amazon. I would love to see it unionize, but it’s arguably not going to exist in another few years as a major player.
Unionization of Amazon delivery systems would have much more ongoing impact. Over-the-road and last-mile have to happen in the US; they can’t be off-shored.
FedEx is used a ton by businesses. We use it constantly. FedEx Next Day Air is really useful.
As I understand it, it’s a niche provider compared to where it was 10 years ago. When was the last time you got a FedEx package from a major retailer? I order shit constantly and can’t remember getting one in maybe a year.
And, if you visit one of their distro centers, they are pale shades of what they were a decade ago, with a fraction of the employees and the vibe of a dying enterprise. Last time I had to hit our local distro center, there were two employees in the entire back area and a giant pile of undeliverable/lost packages in the waiting area.
You’d be surprised at how anti-union many Amazon corp workers are, which is hilarious given how fucking shit it can be.
He’s gonna try to fire his entire workforce.
I’m sure the NLRB will have something to say.
Didn’t he already try that at twitter and had to backpedal? They weren’t even trying to unionize in that case.
This is the way. I wish software engineers would do the same.
Wow, what an interesting technology this is!
Old tech
The Guardian opinion page is, in fact, the most authoritative source for technology news in the world
I believe this may be one of the few times other car manufacturers would lobby the government in favor of unions, since they see Tesla as having an unfair advantage that hurts their bottom line.
My experience says that they’d point at non union competition as an excuse to say no to union demands in negotiations.
Not sorry, Elon is poes.
Maybe he’ll take his ball and go home.
I don’t think he will go home before he finds those marbles thst he lost
Are they forming a technology union? Otherwise I think this should be in news.
