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

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

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.
