Watch how Tesla goes bankrupt because of one CEO's idiocy and greed and then blame unions for it. Tale as old as time.

why does elon think people will agree with him that unions are bad? Arent super rich the only ones who agree with that opinion?
You'd be shocked how much anti union hate is alive and well in impoverished Republican areas. The propaganda succeeded.
this right here, I live in a predominantly blue district and the amount of people that believe that unions are the worst thing that can happen to a worker is insane. I have to give it to the anti-union propaganda, it was efficient and it worked.
If it wasn't so vile, it's downright impressive. Even my mother is anti-union. Women's rights, immigrant protections, universal healthcare, wealth taxes, etc.
But she will argue against me until I'm gasping for air that unions are bad for workers.
I grew up in a blue collar area and the normal lines that get repeated over and over is that unions prevent hard workers from standing out and excelling. They reward and promote laziness. They make the labour so expensive the business cant survive. And on and on.
I'm all for unions even though I was fucked over by Pepsi's union. Just make sure your union leaders aren't company men or women.
That sounds pretty fucked up from Pepsi, criminal even.
It was shit, I was lied to and they broke their own rules that are in writing and when I showed them they blew me off. It was a shit job anyways, at least I got a free CDL out of it.
You don't even know what happened, and you're already calling it a crime?
Sounds like nom union corporate software development.
I guess anyone who believes that thinks that they are and always will be in the 90% performance bracket who will get rewarded.
PS: only rich egotists like elon can afford to live in that belief.
Shhh...he's campaigning for Harris in the rust belt at this point and doesn't know it ๐ #galaxybrain
The super rich a disturbingly uneducated
Nope! Lots of blue collar workers have been programmed since birth that unions are bad. Without a proper education they'll never learn otherwise. I know, I was one of them.
Amazon put gamer-centric union busting materials in it's centers telling folks to buy games instead of paying dues.
Republicans simultaneously love American automakers and hate unions.
