Not long ago, the UAW sent an organizer to the Tesla Fremont factory to speak with interested employees. The UAW has sought the electric automaker for some time, but the final straw came when a Tesla employee wrote a letter and made a video complaining about conditions in the workplace.

Jose Moran was the gentleman that started the ball rolling (but it really never rolled). He is one of only four Tesla employees since 2014 to come forward publicly with concerns. The other three filed separate suits with the National Labor Relations board, all of which were privately settled, and the organization did not accuse Tesla of any wrongdoing.

Four employees out of over 6,000 … And even though Moran came forward recently and it was widely publicized, it didn't push anyone else to come forward. The opportunity was there, the press was involved, the UAW showed up, but nothing.
