Tesla fires workers trying to unionize in New York, organizing group says
'They want us to be scared, but I think they just started a stampede'factory in Buffalo, New York, have been fired after launching union organizing efforts two days ago, according to Tesla Workers United.
“I feel blindsided, I got COVID and was out of the office, then I had to take a bereavement leave. I returned to work, was told I was exceeding expectations and then Wednesday came along," organizing committee member Arian Berek, who is one of the approximately 30 fired employees, said in a statement."I strongly feel this is in retaliation to the committee announcement, and it’s shameful.
TWU said that the firings were unacceptable and that the expectations placed on Tesla workers are “unfair, unattainable, ambiguous and ever changing.” The Rochester Regional Joint Board of Workers United has filed a complaint against Tesla with the National Labor Relations Board, accusing theIn the complaint, the group lists the names of several employees who were part of the factory's Autopilot department that were fired. The group says that it believes Tesla “terminated these individuals in retaliation for union activity and to discourage union activity” — which would be illegal.
