Tesla factory workers can anticipate pay raises this year, a development coinciding with efforts by the United Auto Workers (UAW) union to organize Tesla’s U.S. plants. The UAW revealed on Thursday that Tesla workers had informed the union about company statements regarding the raises, but no specific details on the magnitude were provided, as per a report from AP.
Following successful negotiations with Detroit’s major automakers last year, the UAW has initiated an organizing campaign targeting all nonunion auto plants in the U.S., including Tesla’s facilities in Texas, California, and Nevada. The pay increases at Tesla come in the wake of similar announcements by nearly all nonunion auto plants following the ratification of UAW contracts.
UAW President Shawn Fain referred to these pay raises at nonunion automakers as the “UAW bump,” suggesting that they were implemented to counter union organizing efforts. Fain commented that while these raises are substantial, they still fall short of what companies can afford and what autoworkers deserve.
Tesla, headquartered in Austin, Texas, is providing a “market adjustment” pay raise to production workers, material handlers, and quality inspectors, according to Bloomberg News. The UAW’s organizing drive extends to more than a dozen U.S. plants operated by various automakers, including Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid.
Meanwhile, the UAW’s strategy involves calling for elections at factories when around 70% of the workers express support. The UAW can seek an election run by the National Labor Relations Board once a majority of workers support it.
Tesla has also been embroiled in a contentious dispute with union workers in Sweden and neighboring countries, with CEO Elon Musk taking an anti-union stance.
