Musk announcedTeslaworkersWage increasesThe news has attracted widespread attention. Musk asTeslaThe founder and CEO of the company has long been known for its strict cost control. However, the salary increase came as a surprise. In fact, this decision is similar to the recent United StatesCarsWorkers' strikes.
September 15 of this year, the United StatesCarsThe United Workers' Union (UAW) launched a massive strike, which was aimed at GMFordwithPeugeot CitroenWait threeBig carsMagnate. The strike was mainly caused by workers' dissatisfaction with their wages, and the workers' incomes did not rise accordingly after experiencing the shock of inflation. This led to a rapid build-up of discontent among the workers, culminating in this massive strike.
Strike to threeBig carsGiants brought hugeEconomylosses, according to statistics, amounted to $10 billion. In the face of a strong counterattack from the unions, the three major car companies had to make concessions and promised to raise workers' wages and various welfare packages. According to official figures from the UAW, the strike has earned workers a four-fold increase in income over the past 22 years, and can be said to be a one-sided victory.
However, it is important to note thatTeslaof employees are not members of UAW. AlthoughTeslaThey have many factories in the United States and employ more than 10,000 people, but they are not part of the UAW. Therefore,Teslaof workers have not been able to enjoy the UAW forCarsThe various benefits that workers have won have been obtained.
However,TeslaIt's not that employees don't get the kind of increases that UAW has been striving for. with othersCarsThe manufacturer is different,Tesla** options are provided for employees, which makes:TeslaEmployees actually earn more than traditionallyCarsWorkers in manufacturing enterprises are higher.

Through Musk's move to raise salaries, we can see that he is rightTeslaWorkers' attention and worries about the power of trade unions.

In my opinion, Musk's salary increase may just be a stopgap measure to calm down for the time beingTeslaWorkers' discontent, to avoid a strike. However, in the face of the UAW's organizational strength and rightTeslaMusk may need a more comprehensive and long-term strategy to solve the problems between workers and unions.
