NEW: Tesla fired dozens of workers at its Buffalo, New York plant a day after employees announced a union campaign, according to a new complaint filed with the National Labor Relations Board.

Tesla Workers United called the firings "unacceptable," in a statement Thursday and said the company's expectations for employees "are unfair, unattainable, ambiguous and ever changing."

Workers also received a company email Wednesday evening telling them of a new policy to ban them from "recording workplace meetings without all participants' permission," according to the statement. The statement noted that the company policy violated federal labor law as well as New York’s one-party consent law to record conversations.“I feel blind sided, 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.

“We’re angry. This won’t slow us down. This won’t stop us. They want us to be scared, but I think they just started a stampede. We can do this. But I believe we will do this,” said Sara Costantino, current Tesla employee and organizing committee member, said in the statement.

Dureresthard Le problème est surtout que elonmusk est tellement con que plus personne ne veut acheter une Tesla... 😎

this is illegal

I hope they sur

Unions would not be necessary IF companies treated their workers respectfully, imo. But do NOT listen to me, instead: LIKE if you agree!

OccupyWallStNYC Corporations are AFRAID OF UNIONS BECAUSE OF THEIR GREED! They want ALL PROFITS FOR THEMSELVES & HAVE NO PATRIOTISM OR LOYALTY TO COUNTRY! They use TAX BREAKS TO ADD ZEROS TO THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS; not to benefit our economy!

But I thought elonmusk liked free speech.

If I lived on one side of a river with all my rich buisness men friends. And you lived with all government people on tour side. You would starve.

No one is making people work at Tesla. Keep complaining about low wages. YOU get people fired

issielapowsky Lock Him Up!

kevincollier Hi, Tesla employee here, I do not support unions. I don’t need a group of people with egos representing me or speaking on my behalf of what I want. I’m pretty happy with Tesla.

I remember when folks thought Musk was intelligent, he's not he just has money

Soo... when's the lawsuit coming? Pretty sure union busting is illegal

Because unions are for the weak.

Look how competitive it made the big 3 to be unionized - NOT

Good

Where is your so called freedom? If you are a Tesla employee rules are different.

It's a good thing we don't live in the time of kings and queens where the rich and powerful can get away with anything. /s

Now you know how billionaires end up as billionaires.

elonmusk what's up? Can't let your employees choose the right to unionize and have a better workplace?

Well done!

Good. Fire them all.
