Overview

• 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.
