IG Metall brochures in English and German for Tesla employees
Tesla, Inc. is an American electric car manufacturer which as of January 2024[update] employs over 140,000 workers across its global operations,[1] almost none of whom are unionized. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has commented negatively on trade unions in relation to Tesla. Despite allegations of high injury rates, long hours, and below-industry pay, efforts to unionize the workforce have been largely unsuccessful. As of February 2024[update], there are active labor disputes with Tesla in the United States, Germany and Sweden.
Tesla is the only major American auto manufacturer not represented by a union in the US as of January 2024[update].[2][3] None of the unionization attempts between 2016–2023 by United Auto Workers (UAW),[4] United Steelworkers (USW), International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW),[5] and Workers United[6] were successful. Complaints were filed against Tesla in all the campaigns for retaliation firings, but only one complaint was upheld.
In Germany, Tesla and Tesla Automation's non-union status and lower wages compared to industry standards weakens the power of the metalworkers' union IG Metall. Tesla concluded a pay-related works agreement with Tesla Automation's Works Council, while refusing to sign a collective agreement with IG Metall. In January 2023, IG Metall called for an investigation into Tesla over allegations of long working hours and forced non-disclosure agreements.
