特斯拉工厂工人要求明确薪酬,增加透明度

特斯拉组织工人委员会,管理层对他们提出的要求视而不见,因此要求董事会成员介入。

一个计划在特斯拉位于加州弗里蒙特的工厂组建工会的工人组织,向公司董事会写了一封信,要求独立董事向包括CEO埃隆·马斯克在内的管理层施压,解决有关安全隐患和资金不足等问题。

而就在4天前,马斯克刚刚在这家工厂举办的盛大活动上,将30多辆面向大众市场的新Model 3汽车交到了员工手中。在交接仪式之前,马斯克告诉包括《财富》杂志在内的记者,特斯拉将经历六个月的“生产地狱”,扩大Model 3的生产规模。

而组建工会可能会影响到Model 3的生产计划。

特斯拉组织工人委员会将信发给了独立董事会成员,包括新加入的詹姆斯·默多克和琳达·约翰逊·莱斯。该委员会在信中称,管理层对他们提出的要求视而不见,因此要求董事会成员介入。目前尚不确定有多少工人支持该组织或支持组建工会。

该委员会提出的三个要求,主要涉及健康与安全,以及员工薪酬问题。该员工组织希望了解和参与公司的安全保障计划,并要求公司允许其审查工厂的危险与伤害数据。工人们还希望参与与工厂设备、轮班制度和人体工程学等有关的公司决策。

另外,工人们还投诉特斯拉没有明确的员工晋升政策。

信中写道:“公司没有就对员工的期望提供指导原则,也没有定义什么是成功。”信中还指出“由于缺乏财务保障,导致人员流动率很高。”

特斯拉并未立即对置评请求作出答复。

特斯拉的工人过去曾尝试过组建工会。这一次开始于今年2月,起因是一名员工乔斯·莫兰在Medium的一篇文章中对特斯拉的工作环境大加控诉,包括低于平均水平的工资,严重的强制加班情况,工人士气低落,升职不公平,高离职率以及工作场所受伤的情况频发等。莫兰当时表示,工厂的许多工人一直在“讨论组建工会,并曾向美国汽车工人联盟寻求支持。”(财富中文网)

A group of Tesla workers behind an effort to unionize the automaker's Fremont, Calif. factory have sent a letter to the company's board asking its independent members to put pressure on management including CEO Elon Musk to address concerns about safety and financial shortfalls.

The letter comes just three days after Musk handed over 30 new Model 3 vehicles—the company's product aimed at the mass market—to employees during a splashy event at the factory. It was here, just prior to the handover, that Musk told reporters, including Fortune that Tesla was about to go through six months of manufacturing hell to scale production of the Model 3.

Efforts to unionize could disrupt Tesla's production plans for the Model 3.

The Tesla Organizing Workers' Committee sent the letter to independent board members, including its two newest James Murdoch and Linda Johnson Rice. In the letter, the committee claims its requests to management have been ignored and asked the board members to step in. It's unclear how many workers support this group or efforts to unionize.

The committee had three demands centered on health and safety as well as how employees are evaluated and paid. The group of workers wants access to, and a voice in, the company's safety plan as well as the ability to review data on hazards and injuries as the plant. The workers also want to be a part of company decisions about equipment, rotation schedules, and ergonomics at the factory.

Workers also complained that there is no clear policy for how workers might advance at Tesla.

"There are no guidelines for what is expected of us, or what defines success," the letter said, noting there is "a great deal of workforce turnover due to the financial insecurity."

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Attempts to unionize Tesla's factory have cropped up in the past. The latest effort began in February after Tesla employee Jose Moran made a number of allegations in a post on Medium about the working conditions there, including lower-than-average pay, excessive mandatory overtime, low morale, unfair promotions, high turnover, and frequent workplace injuries. Moran said at the time that many workers at the factory have been "talking about unionizing, and have reached out to the United Auto Workers for support."
