UTesla uxoshe abalandeli abangaphezu kuka-30 benyunyana esafufusa esikhungweni sayo saseBuffalo, ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kumenyezelwe umzamo wokuhlela, ngokusho kwenyunyana.
Inyunyana, iTesla Workers United, ifake isimangalo kuNational Labour Relations Board ikhala ngokuthi inkampani ixoshe abalandeli bayo ngokungemthetho.
Isikhalo sibala amagama abasebenzi abangu-18 ebakhokhisa abaxoshwa “ukuziphindiselela okwenziwa yinyunyana nokudikibalisa ukusebenza kwezinyunyana.” Kodwa isitatimende esikhishwe yile nyunyana siveze ukuthi bangaphezulu kuka-30 abasebenzi abaxoshiwe. Kusho izibhamu zifika ezithendeni ze umzamo wokuhlela inyunyana emenyezelwe ekuqaleni kwaleli sonto.
“Ngizizwa ngingaboni emehlweni,” kusho u-Arian Berek, omunye wabasebenzi abaxoshiwe ocashunwe esitatimendeni senyunyana. “Ngathola uCovid ngase ngiphumile ehhovisi, kwadingeka ngithathe ikhefu lokushonelwa. Ngabuyela emsebenzini, ngatshelwa ukuthi ngidlule kulokho ebengikulindele, kwabe sekufika uLwesithathu. Ngibona sengathi lokhu kuwukuziphindiselela esimemezelweni sekomiti futhi kuyihlazo.”
Abantu abaxoshiwe basebenze ekulebeni idatha eqoqwe njengengxenye yobuchwepheshe be-Tesla’s Autopilot. Isikhulu esiphezulu sakwaTesla, u-Elon Musk, uncome umsebenzi waleli qembu, wathi liyi-“Holy Grail” yale nkampani. ubuchwepheshe bokuzishayela.
“Sisebenza kahle kakhulu ekulebeni kwezimoto,” etshela abatshalizimali ngo-Ephreli 2021. “Abaqeqeshi baqeqesha uhlelo lokuqeqesha bese uhlelo lubhala imininingwane bese izisebenzi ezingabantu zidinga nje ukubheka ukulebula ukuze ziqinisekise ukuthi ilungile futhi mhlawumbe yenza ukuhlela.”
Kodwa abalandeli bezinyunyana bayakuphikisa lokho okulindelekile kokukhiqiza abakubiza ngokuthi “okungalungile, okungafinyeleleki, okungaqondakali futhi okuhlala kushintsha.” Baphinde baphikisane nenkampani okuthiwa bayayiphikisa ukuqapha okhiye babo ukuze balinganise umsebenzi wabo.
“Sithukuthele. Lokhu ngeke kusibambezele. Lokhu ngeke kusivimbe. Bafuna sesabe, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi bavele baqala ukunyathelana. Singakwenza lokhu. Kodwa ngikholwa ukuthi sizokwenza lokhu,” kusho uSara Costantino, osebenza kwaTesla njengamanje futhi eyilungu lekomidi elihlela, esitatimendeni senyunyana.
Imboni yaseNyathi azakhi izimoto. Ngaphezu komsebenzi wokulebula we-Autopilot, yakha amaphaneli elanga nemikhiqizo ehlobene.
Inyunyana entsha ithola ukwesekwa yinyunyana i-Starbucks Workers United, enakho ihlele izitolo ezingaphezu kuka-200 ze-Starbucks esikhathini esingaphezudlwana nje konyaka, kanye ne-Service Employees International Union. Ukunqoba kokuqala kweStarbucks Workers United yafika eBuffalo, futhi inamandla ikakhulukazi eNtshonalanga New York.
Esikhathini esidlule, uTesla ubelokhu abasolwa ngokuxosha abalandeli bezinyunyana ngokungemthetho embonini yayo eCalifornia, okokuqala ngqa ukwakha izimoto. Kodwa imizamo yokuhlela leso sikhungo ayiphumelelanga ekufakeni izicelo zenyunyana zokubamba amavoti kubasebenzi lapho.
Musk has wagxeka kaningi izinyunyana kuma-tweets, enye yawo i-NLRB eyamyala ukuba ayenze susa iminyaka emithathu ngemva kokuthunyelwa.
Ku iposi ngoLwesine blog, uTesla uthe “kuyizinsolo ezingamanga” ukuthi “unqamule abasebenzi ngenxa yomkhankaso omusha wezinyunyana.” Lathi lokhu kudutshulwa kubangelwa abampofu ukubuyekezwa kokusebenza.
“Abasebenzi abathintekile bakhonjwa ngoFebhuwari 3, 2023, okwakusele ngaphambi kokuba kumenyezelwe umkhankaso wezinyunyana,” kusho uTesla kulesi sikhundla. “Sabona ngokuhlela imisebenzi cishe ezinsukwini eziyi-10 kamuva. Sithole ngemuva kokuthi oyedwa kwabangu-27 waba nomthelela [was] ehlonzwe ngokusemthethweni njengengxenye yomkhankaso wenyunyana. Lo msebenzi wandulela noma yimuphi umkhankaso wezinyunyana.”
