UAW Takes on Tesla: Organizing Nonunion Companies

The United Auto Workers (UAW) is gearing up to organize nonunion companies, including Tesla, following their recent contract victories with the Big Three automakers. The UAW has formed an organizing committee at Tesla's Fremont plant, despite CEO Elon Musk's opposition to unions. The UAW sees the unionization of the electric vehicle market as crucial for its survival and plans to provide necessary resources for the campaign. Additionally, the UAW aims to expand its reach to other nonunion automakers, such as Honda, Hyundai, Subaru, and Volkswagen. The success of this year's Big Three strike and the changing labor landscape have emboldened the UAW's efforts to organize nonunion workers in the auto industry.
