Workers who help Teslas become robots explore starting a union to avoid same fate
A group of workers employed to label data at Tesla's Autopilot division in Buffalo, New York, launched a campaign to form an official union on Tuesday.
Under US law, unions can bargain with employers only if the group is certified by the National Labor Relations Board . Union groups must obtain signatures from at least 30 percent of the workforce in order for the NLRB to conduct an union election. A team working at the Tesla plant in Buffalo, backed by the Service Employees International Union affiliate Workers United, is working to collect enough signatures from colleagues.
The first salvo was distributing leaflets containing a Valentine's Day poem that read:"Roses are red/violets are blue/forming a union starts with you." The leaflet also contained a link to a website where employees can sign up in support of a union election.
On a 2021 earnings call, Musk said he wanted to automate the labelling process so humans only needed to confirm or edit the machine's outputs.
