News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

aaaawweeeee

It is in the news. That's where I found out about it.

You can find many takes on it with a quick google on Tesla's unionization suppression efforts in their Fremont factory and Tesla's battles with the United Auto Workers US union.

The German dispute is also in the news, in English and German, and can be found with a quick google as well.

We don't have a say in government policy, no matter how much noise we make in their comment section.
Just asking.
Do you track what people search? What do you do with that data? Who do you share it with? What's the business model, if any?
Unless you have strong unions who can wrestle with the tech strong-arms, tech companies, or any company, don't have to pander to your basic necessity for a decent working life.

The unions in the US are pathetic, and corrupted by the mafia, and workers are suffering humiliations because of that.

Here's a tragicomic anecdote that illustrates my point:

Recently in Germany, Tesla has been struggling with the German unions because Tesla has been paying below union wages to a German company they bought. So far, Tesla offered each employee a one-off €1,000 ($1,090) bonus, an extra €150 a month, and €10,000 of Tesla shares distributed over four years to calm the situation, but the negotiations are still on-going.

In the US, where they're facing worker revolt for the low wages and bad working conditions but currently aren't unionized, they promised free frozen yoghurt and, Musk claimed this is his favorite, a Tesla electric pod car roller coaster.
