UAW files charge against Donald Trump and Elon Musk over strike threat

“You’re the greatest cutter,” Trump told Musk. “I mean, I look at what you do,” Trump said. “You walk in, you say, You want to quit? They go on strike, I won’t mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and you say, That’s OK, you’re all gone. You’re all gone. So, every one of you is gone.”


The union noted that threatening to fire workers for striking is illegal, given all workers have protected rights to strike under federal labor laws in the US.

"Musk has previously been reprimanded for comments made on X, formerly Twitter. In 2021, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ordered Musk to delete a tweet in which he threatened workers for trying to organize a union, ruling the tweet violated federal labor law.

Trump has no ability to fire UAW workers, so it is not a threat.

He would not as President either.
