At that time, the UAW was seeking to represent workers at Tesla's facility in Fremont, who are not unionised.
“This is a great victory for workers who have the courage to stand up and organize in a system that is currently stacked heavily in favour of employers like Tesla who have no qualms about violating the law,” UAW Vice President Cindy Estrada said in a statement.
The NLRB also directed Tesla to offer one former employee reinstatement as well as to rescind 2017 rules that prohibited distributing union literature in its parking lot on non-work time and rules that barred distributing union stickers, leaflets, and pamphlets without first obtaining permission.
Tesla in 2018 defendedMusk's comment, saying it simply recognized that other automakers whose workers are represented by the UAW do not provide stock options.
In a separate tweet,Muskhad accused the UAW of driving General Motors and Chrysler to bankruptcy and losing "200,000+ jobs for people they were supposed to protect."
