This is utter bs. I have dealt with unions at a previous job. They rip away independence from the members and control them completely and charge them! I never joined as I have more belief in myself. If I'm not happy I can always finds another job that values initiative and independent thought. Unions also suck away a lot of time from management and adds tremendous administrative and legal costs. Companies are then left with complaining lemmings. Unions would have no benefit to Tesla in any form never mind destroying the current profit sharing system from options. Tesla thrives because of the DNA of their employees, the weak demanding employees need not apply.

Moon, I truly appreciate the opportunity to debate this topic with somebody who is not a roving lunatic like most of my Democrat friends. The topic is very close to my heart, even though I would never join a union personally.

Union contracts make no provision for individual differences. One employee with the same 'experience' level may be far more adept at his/her job than somebody else. Yet the contract requires that they both be paid the same. To me, that is socialism, pure and simple.
