Elon and I have that in common. Been in one and supervised folks in one. No thanks.

The Tesla factory in Austin is basically an Indian union. Over half the floor workers and 2 out 3 of leadership positions are Indians and they favor Indians. Line quality has dropped with internal defects because the floor workers are lazy and on any given day some are “out sick”. It got so bad they are having to train dealerships to fix things like loose door fittings on delivery that occurred in the factory because the workforce is too stupid and lazy to correct it. Shame, but this is what globalization gets you.

Whenever I hear ‘Union Organizing’ this is what I don’t hear:
1. We are organizing to help make the product better and cheaper for Americans
2. We are organizing to help make the workflow and labor more streamlined to make America competitive
3. We are organizing to ensure cooperation for worker safety and OSHA Regulations
4. We are organizing to ensure the products being produced are better and more uniform at the factories.
5. We are organizing to help build American manufacturing and keep it from going overseas.

Nope. All I ever hear is that they want more ‘money’. That’s why many hard working gifted people like Musk don’t like Unions- because they aren’t about building anything.
