    Unions pushing for something Tesla workers didn’t ask and do not want at all. This is Unions trying to justify their existence in a situation where they are not needed. They fight to survive, not for workers’interests.

      I’ve seen this argument many times and I don’t understand it at all.

      Let’s say I work at Tesla. We have worse pay and worse benefits than competitors in this sector. I’m not in a union but some of my coworkers are and they want a fair wage and benefits.

      They go on strike after a vote. Since I’m not in a union I continue to go to work.

      Then why would I be mad that the union is pushing something that would benefit me? Higher pay and better benefits…

      Only an idiot would dislike it.
