A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Weird how reading the article will sometimes give more information than just reading the headline, isn't it?
I was thinking the same thing.
I resisted the urge to make a comment about it because honestly, sometimes I’ve been guilty of it, too. Also, some articles are so full of useless, unnecessary bullshit I can’t really blame people for not wanting to read them. So I just copied, pasted, and shut up. :)
This is actually a pretty nice system. It works like a protection for all workers, that their salaries are set by the union and it can't be changed by the company.
Of course Tesla doesn't like that, and of course capitalism in general hates that, because how are you going to replace then with cheaper workers? Or fire them when they feel like it (this is also regulated by the unions).
Capitalism is at its core about exploiting humans, and specially humans that are weak and not able to compete in the capitalism class system. It's company profits over humanity.
