Tesla CEO Elon Musk is no fan of unions, but at the moment he might be quietly cheering on Shawn Fain. The United Auto Workers leader shows no signs of backing down from Detroit’s Big 3 automakers as he pushes "audacious" contract demands. If no deal is struck, about 146,000 UAW workers will likely go on strike on Friday.
That would help Tesla at a time when traditional automakers are pushing more aggressively into electric vehicles.
