UAW Targets Trump and Musk With Federal Labor Charges

Aug 13, 2024 1 min read

Jump to Summary

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has filed federal labor charges against former President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk. The charges stem from comments made during a discussion on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, where both men advocated for the firing of workers who participate in strikes. According to the UAW, these statements violate the National Labor Relations Act, which protects workers' rights to strike without fear of retaliation.

The UAW released a video highlighting a segment of the conversation where Trump praised Musk for supposedly firing a group of striking workers, though it remains unclear if this actually occurred. The union argues that these remarks undermine federal labor protections and constitute intimidation of workers engaged in legally protected activities. The Trump campaign has not yet commented on the labor complaint.
