[Síguenos ahora también en WhatsApp. Da clic aquí] He United Automobile Workers Union presented fees before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against Donald Trump and Elon MuskTesla CEO, for his attempts threaten and intimidate workers.
The lawsuit was filed after Musk and Trump had a two-hour conversation on Channel X on Monday night, during which they both discussed workers walking off the job to go on strike.
“You’re the best shooter,” Trump said during the call. “I mean, I look at what you do. You come in and say, ‘Do you want to quit?’ They’re on strike — I won’t name the company — but they’re on strike. And you tell them, ‘Nothing’s happening, everybody’s quitting.'”
Under federal law, workers can’t be fired for striking, and threatening to do so is illegal under the National Labor Relations Act, the UAW said.
UAW Endorses Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for U.S. president. She met with union officials and workers near Detroit last week.
“Both Trump and Musk want the working class to sit down and shut up, and they openly laugh at it. “It’s disgusting, illegal, and completely predictable from these two clowns,” UAW President Sean Fein said in a statement Tuesday.
The NLRB has limited authority to punish illegal labor practices.
In cases illegal threatsThe board may order employers to cease and desist from such conduct and to post notices in the workplace informing workers of their rights.
Unions can also use favorable NLRB decisions to undermine the workers they are trying to organize.
Fein filed separate complaints against Musk and Trump with the NLRB, alleging that both men made statements suggesting they would “fire employees who engaged in protected concerted activity, including strikes.”
The complaints do not contain any additional information.
The Harris and Trump campaigns did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Musk also did not respond to a request for comment.
Last fall, the UAW led a six-week strike against Detroit’s Big Three automakers, with workers at Ford Motor, General Motors and Stellantis picketing across the country.
The union negotiated record contracts that included a 25% overall wage increase over the life of the agreement, as well as cost-of-living adjustments.
The wins equate to significant labor costs, Detroit auto industry executives say, adding to their race to cut costs to stay competitive with Tesla.
Musk, who endorsed Trump’s presidential bid, has had numerous run-ins with the labor council.
His rocket company SpaceX is currently challenging the agency’s entire structure in two lawsuits.
The cases stem from NLRB complaints accusing SpaceX of firing engineers who criticized Musk and forcing employees to sign unlawful resignations.
In March, a U.S. appeals court upheld an NLRB ruling that Musk had illegally threatened Tesla employees by tweeting in 2018: “Nothing prevents the Tesla team at our car plant from voting for a union (…) But why pay union dues and give up stock options for nothing?”
The electric car maker is separately facing accusations from its board that it illegally interfered with unionization at an assembly plant in Buffalo, New York.
Last year, an appeals court overturned a labor board ruling that Tesla violated the law by banning plant workers from wearing UAW T-shirts. (Reuters)
