Tesla boosts pay for U.S. factory workers as UAW momentum builds


Tesla Inc. notified workers at its California car plant of pay increases across its U.S. factories, the latest bump by a nonunion automaker the United Auto Workers is trying to organize.

All U.S. production associates, material handlers and quality inspectors are getting a “market adjustment pay increase” to kick off the new year, according to a flyer posted at Tesla’s facility in Fremont, California. The union is now parlaying success at the bargaining table into a simultaneous organizing drive targeting Tesla and a dozen other manufacturers, looking to double the number of auto workers in its ranks. He’s also increasingly emphasized the importance of cost-cutting, saying many consumers still can’t afford the company’s electric vehicles because rising interest rates have offset repeated price cuts.
