Tesla accused by NLRB of creating policies to chill workers' unionizing efforts in Buffalo / The policy restricted Tesla workers from “recording, unauthorized solicitating or promoting,” and “creating channels and distribution lists,” the complaint said.


The NLRB is accusing Tesla of taking steps to keep employees in Buffalo, New York, from unionizing, according to a complaint filed late Wednesday.

In it, she said Tesla "promulgated and maintained," an acceptable use policy for workplace technology in 2023 that was meant to "discourage its employees from forming, joining, or assisting the Union or engaging in other concerted activities," after allegations were raised by members of Workers United. The Tesla Buffalo plant was supposed to manufacture solar panels, but has been used more recently to assemble electric vehicle charging equipment, and to house a team of AI software data labelers. Last month, the Buffalo plant was home to a number of job cuts put in place as part of a broader restructuring at the electric vehicle company.
