The move follows similar wage increases by other non-union automakers in response to UAW's recent deals with the Big Three.
- Tesla plans to raise the pay of hourly workers at its Nevada Gigafactory by approximately 10% in January.
- The pay raise comes amid a unionization push from the United Auto Workers (UAW) union.
- Other non-union automakers like Honda and Toyota have also recently raised workers’ wages following the UAW’s deal with the Big Three automakers.
- Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has expressed his disagreement with the idea of unions, stating that if Tesla is eventually unionized, it would be due to a failure on the company's part.
- The UAW has set its sights on unionization pushes at non-union automakers such as Tesla.
