Factory workers at Tesla can expect pay raises this year, following the recent announcements by the United Auto Workers (UAW) union about an organizing effort at the company's U.S. plants. While specific details about the size of the increases have not been disclosed, Tesla employees have informed the union about the company's plans for salary adjustments.
The UAW, which successfully negotiated strong contracts with Detroit's three major automakers last year, has now set its sights on organizing all nonunion auto plants in the United States, including Tesla's assembly and battery factories in Texas, California, and Nevada. This push to unionize comes as many other companies with nonunion auto plants announced wage increases shortly after the UAW contracts were ratified.
