President Biden's proposal to give union-made, US-built EVs an additional $4,500 tax incentive seems to have given Tesla reason to reconsider their stance on worker organization. Elon Musk tweeted regarding their California factory, "I'd like hereby to invite UAW to hold a union vote at their convenience. Tesla will do nothing to stop them."
Just like that? Tesla has faced criticism lately as racial discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuits pop up. A move toward unionization may signal to concerned parties the company is willing to address worker needs.
Telling it like it is - Woody Guthrie would be proud of the vote but so very confused about what an electric car is.
