Who's requiring anyone to go back to work? Nobody is forced to work at Tesla. Anyone who wants to continue not working is free to do so. Right now, nobody who wants to work at that particular plant is free to do so.
- travisporter 6y agoActually, if you refuse to go back to work because of safety reasons in PA or IN, your employer will snitch on you, and you will not get unemployment benefits.
- 34679 6y agoThat's not the case in CA or at Tesla: "First, I’d like to be super clear that if you feel the slightest bit ill or even uncomfortable, please don’t feel obligated to come to work. I will personally be at work, but that is just me. Totally OK if you want to stay home for any reason." https://electrek.co/2020/03/17/elon-musk-tesla-coronavirus-panic-email/ https://electrek.co/2020/03/17/elon-musk-tesla-coronavirus-p...

- yongjik 6y agoNext you're gonna claim OSHA is fascist, because they prohibit people from deciding for themselves which place is safe enough to work.
- birdyrooster 6y agoThrough the political pressure that Elon is exerting, it should be clear to his employees that he thinks they have poor judgement if they choose to stay home. Why would you feel safe working there during or after this? Also, if you are working in unsafe conditions right now and you aren't an essential employee -- you are a scab who is making negotiating national benefits harder which would otherwise help every working person more. This is a classic prisoners dilemma and Elon is unfortunately one of the jailers.
