Some Tesla workers and labor activists say the company is threatening to fire employees who haven’t returned to the company’s California factory since it reopened because they’re afraid of catching the coronavirus.
The group wants the practice to stop, and it also wants state and county officials to do a better job making sure proper safety procedures are followed“There are people we are paying to keep us safe, and they’re just turning the other cheek,” said Tesla worker Carlos Gabriel, who is among the organizers of a rally scheduled for Thursday at the Alameda County Public Health Department in Oakland. “They should be holding [Tesla CEO] Elon Musk accountable.
A Tesla spokesman wouldn’t immediately comment Wednesday, but company officials said at a public hearing on tax incentives in Texas last week that claims of Fremont workers being fired are untrue. Tesla has released plans to maintain worker safety including temperature checks, the wearing of gloves and masks, installing barriers between workers and maintaining social distancing. In early May, Musk told workers that they didn’t have to return to the plant if they weren’t comfortable with it.
Elon’s an asshole so no surprise there.
I hope they never go back i need a job lol
Not surprising. Musk practically denies the existence of covid-19. His twitter is filled with charts and graphs showing how all the deaths aren’t enough to stop his status mobile from being produced. Every other response are from his gushing fanboys screaming “fake news!”
Every worker for every company on the planet will say these things at one time or another. What? Not going to pay when your healthy or look for other employment
Usually what happens if you don’t go to work
I would never buy one.
There is a lot of unemployed out there who will work.
Wait. Are they saying that not working may result in losing their jobs?
Élon Musk is a fool
Rules are rules. Sorry.
elonmusk is evil
Well if you don’t want to show up for work do they have a choice ?
It is job abandonment
