A group of Democratic U.S. Senators has urged Tesla, led by CEO Elon Musk, and 12 other automakers, including Toyota and Honda, to remain neutral in unionization efforts at their U.S. plants. The senators' appeal is part of a larger push by the United Auto Workers (UAW) to organize workers within the auto industry, as electric vehicles (EVs) are projected to cause job losses. The UAW has launched campaigns to unionize over 150,000 autoworkers, notably at a Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama and a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee, where more than 30% of workers have signed union cards, enabling them to file for a union election. This effort is aimed at 13 non-unionized automakers in the U.S., as the UAW seeks to expand its reach beyond the traditional 'Big Three' U.S. automakers.
