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 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.

      Wouldn’t you just do half day fridays or something?
