Elon might be an asshole but at least he’s consistent.

“over thirty employees were fired on February 15, one day after the union sent its email to management describing the intent to organize. The union also told Gizmodo that Tesla implemented a new policy that forbids employees to record meetings at the company unless all attendees agree.”

What I fail to understand is why union organization doesn't happen quietly until they have a large percentage of people agreeing to join.

Is this something that's ready for disruption, like a social-media site for unionization resources and to facilitate unionization?

Because all it takes is one person to "leak' to management that it's going on. Some ass kisser. They're everywhere

In this day and age of agressive union-busting techniques Organizers could take a page out of an espionage playbook. Adopt a cell structure. Compartmentalize operations. Implement opsec procedures.

It may seem a little ridiculous but people have been killed for trying to unionize.

The union says 15 of their members were fired, out of 30+ total fired. Why would you trust Tesla when they say only 1 "identified" with the union? Tesla doesn't even recognize the union yet, I doubt they have a thorough count of every employee that's involved.

Someone should create a website specifically to have people create unions in their respective companies anonymously and safely. Where they can talk and unionize without fear.

And if it is so then Tesla can provide documentation of the low performance and signed interactions with said employees stating they were told. This is standard practice in every major company I have worked at. It's done so employees can't claim they weren't told
