The petition further asked the court to review the NLRB’s decision to order Tesla CEO Elon Musk to delete a 2018 tweet considered anti-union.
‘Nothing prevents the Tesla team at our car factory from voting for the union. Can do it tmrw if they want, ”Musk wrote. “But why pay your unions and give nothing options?”
“Our safety record is twice as good as when the factory was UAW and everyone is already getting healthcare,” he added.
