Is this during Tesla’s layoffs, or a specific event targeting union activity?

They made the union announcement yesterday. They were fired today. Hmm 🤔

Unfortunately, the manual labeling team is slowly shrinking anyway in favor of auto labeling. This will give them less leverage as Tesla needs them less and less.

It's illegal in the United States to fire someone for union organizing. It's called retaliation and it's a serious violation of labor laws.

I agree. It’s proving it that’s not easy, especially if a team is becoming less needed and shrinking anyway.

Starbucks tried the same thing in the same town. It didn't work then and it won't work now.

The timing is evidence, but not proof on its own in front of a judge. We know Tesla was already shrinking this team(look at last layoffs). Tesla claims the next round of layoffs was happening and these employees decided to call for a union right before the layoffs to stop the layoffs. Don’t fall for clickbait news headlines. Tesla could be full of bs too. But always two sides. See their response below.

You could say union employees keep getting fired for low performance. You could also say it’s only low Performance employees that keep using the union card to keep their jobs.

There will be unions in Tesla. There are other teams organizing that haven't spoken out yet and their teams are extremely important. ;) So yeah, Tesla's non union days are numbered.

Great. If they are quite, then they are serious.

Unlike this group that’s using it as a card.

Maybe they told Elon why his tweets aren't getting attention?
