From this FB post:
"Tesla Motors
claims to be the future of electric cars. But in many ways the company
and its ruthless union-busting boss Elon Musk resemble the auto
industry's grisly past, before the rise of modern labor rights. And now,
in a new investigation by Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting and KQED News,
it's been revealed that Tesla has been ignoring century-old safety
norms adopted by the rest of the auto industry, not providing enough
training, and faking its safety numbers in order to avoid regulations
and cut costs.
"The reports are staggering. Tesla has, among
other things, not painted bright yellow hazard lines on its factory
floors (the industry standard) because Musk doesn't like the color
yellow; left workers injured on the job homeless due to insufficient
workers' compensation; and marked workers' injuries it should have
reported to regulators as 'minor first aid' incidents and personal
health problems in order to artificially deflate their safety numbers.
The company has since denounced the journalists and whistleblowers
behind this investigation as 'extremists.' Musk, needless to say, was
not so long ago a close ally of the Trump administration, which has
repeatedly threatened to crack down on journalism.
"Take the time
to listen to the voices of Tesla's workers -- and the reptilian excuses
of their bosses -- in this episode of the Reveal podcast."
