“Tesla workers at a factory in Buffalo, New York told billionaire chief executive officer Elon Musk in an early Tuesday email that they are seeking to form the electric vehicle manufacturer’s first-ever union.
Employees told Musk, who also owns Twitter and has previously expressed opposition to unions on the platform, that they are organizing for “better pay and job security alongside a reduction in production pressures that they say have been harmful to their health,” Bloomberg News first reported.
“Tesla monitors keystrokes to track how long employees spend per task and how much of the day they spend actively working,” according to the outlet, which cited a half-dozen workers. “This leads some to avoid taking bathroom breaks.”
