More to the story at the Tesla German plant. Worker safety issues, etc etc. Tesla pretending there isn't an issue. Yadda yadda.

Tesla doesn't like unions for this very reason. Accountability.

Lol my friend worked in the fremont factory shortly and the stories are fucking insane. Working as a painter it took him weeks of asking random people to be provided PPE. He said almost nobody used respirators or standard PPE. They were asking him to do hack-jobs on brand new cars off the production line outside, in an inflatable, with shit hygiene and no PPE.

Homie had ptsd for a while after that. He's done high-end refinishing for years and was aghast at the shit that happened there.
