    Tesla has a policy of not signing collective bargaining agreements and says its employees have as good, or better, terms than those demanded by IF Metall.

    If this was true wouldn’t Tesla be embracing them with open arms? I know the share holders would love it. Not believable at all.

      Leaving aside the amount of money union vs. non-union labor costs, its not surprising that employers oppose unionization because it constrains their flexibility on labor. Makes it harder to fire or restructure workers and creates labor uncertainties around strikes.

      If they “embraced them with open arms,” that would open them up to the risk of strikes from now on until the end of time, including “sympathy strikes” like this one, where employees refuse to perform their duties even when their own employer has done nothing wrong.

      Shareholders would not love it as it cedes control of the company to the union. One needs only look at the recent union issues at Ford and GM to see why.
