Sleeping places for “hard” workers

Cleaner protests

Moreover, Bloomberg reports that Twitter cleaners have started a strike. Union contracts expire on December 9, and Musk doesn’t want to renew the deal, so he refuses to rehire workers. They are unemployed less than three weeks before Christmas.

Twitter doesn’t seem to understand how important it is to keep the house clean and respect the people who throw the trash.
Elizabeth Strather, communications director for the California Federation of Labor, told Bloomberg.

Given his past as an ardent opponent of unions, Musk’s reluctance to negotiate here isn’t particularly surprising. The billionaire’s anti-union behavior is perhaps most visible at Tesla, where workers won several lawsuits over the Tesla CEO’s anti-union rhetoric and behavior.
