The carmaker is now US labor’s most important target. If Musk doesn’t like that, he’s welcome to settle it with an auto worker by cage match

    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.

    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.

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

        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.
