Tesla's New York Workers Seek Union Because Their Jobs Are Robot Like But Don't Replace Them With Robots

Tesla workers at a plant in Buffalo, New York, handed out Valentine’s Day themed leaflets on Tuesday, that read “Roses are red/ Violets are blue/ Forming a union starts with you.” The cards were part of the workers’ now public efforts to start a union within Tesla, a company that has been aggressively opposed to their formation.

Efforts to unionize were started by employees who label data for Tesla’s Autopilot technology at its plant in Buffalo. The leaflets were part of the organizers’ efforts to recruit the roughly 1,000 manufacturing employees who work at the plant, reports Bloomberg.
