Tesla must give a fired worker his job back and chief executive Elon Musk must delete a tweet discouraging unionization, the National Labor Relations Board ordered Thursday, upholding much of a 2019 ruling on Teslas alleged unfair labor practices.
The board found that Tesla unlawfully interrogated workers over suspected unionization efforts, threatened workers with the loss of their stock options if they unionized and unlawfully fired one worker and disciplined another over protected union-related activity, the board said.
Tesla also unfairly maintained a policy prohibiting employees from communicating with the media, in violation of their right to speak concerning labor disputes and terms and conditions of employment, the board found. But it also reversed one key finding of administrative law Judge Amita Baman Tracys Sept. 2019 decision, finding Tesla did not violate federal labor law when it told workers that joining a union would be futile.
