Elon Musk

I was amazed to read about Mr. Musk's recent behavior.That is, where he fired 30 workers the day after a union drive announcement.

These Tesla workers in Buffalo, though, have filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board "accusing the electric carmaker of firing at least 30 workers in response to their union organizing efforts" (nbcnews.com).

Musk, we must admit, does not like unions. It seems he will do whatever it takes to demolish them. 

Maybe, just maybe, they may in turn, demolish him.

About Climate Change

I have been reading some interesting material on climate change and worker safety. Over the last decade or so over 300 people in the US have died from heat while working outside. And there are presently no laws that employers have to abide by to mitigate this.

Hopefully, under the Biden administration that will change. In any case, the chances of the law changing for the better under Pres. Biden is much greater than under the former president.
