Sign Now: Stop Elon Musk’s Union Busting with the American Jobs Plan!
President Biden’s American Jobs Plan includes expanding a tax credit for manufacturers of electric vehicles, so long as they are made in America by workers in jobs with good wages and labor standards.
This tax credit fulfills two key goals at the same time: It provides support for the transition to electric vehicles, which are critical for fighting the climate crisis, and supporting the growth of union jobs helps to rebuild the middle class after decades of stagnation.
Here’s the problem: The biggest name in electric vehicles doesn’t just use non-union labor, but he has been fined by the National Labor Relations Board for violating labor laws to prevent union organizing.
That’s right: Elon Musk is a union buster.
Right now, President Biden is negotiating with Congress to shape the American Jobs Plan into legislation―and he’s getting a lot of pressure to lower the overall price tag. You can bet that America’s second-richest man is applying pressure to stop a provision that would either give a leg up to his competitors, or force him to cede power to workers at his Tesla factories.
We know that union workforces mean better wages and safer working conditions. It would give workers a voice when, for example, a Tesla factory is forced to re-open during a pandemic without proper safety precautions. That’s why billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos work so hard to stop unions from forming.
We need thousands of voices to ensure that President Biden and Congress stand by unions and include strong union protections in the American Jobs Plan!
