Workers and musicians rallied on 1/13/24 at the Tesla assembly plant in Fremont, California on MLK weekend to protest Elon Musks systemic racism and sexism at the Tesla assembly plant. They also protested the union busting and rallied in solidarity with striking Swedish Tesla service mechanics.
They have been on strike for over 2 months for a contract. Workers from the ILWU, CWA UPNET, Teamsters Local 70, PMWG spoke in solidarity as well as former workers at Tesla. Participants charged Elon Musk is an international union buster who violates the laws all over the world and also supports coups for lithium that took place in Bolivia. Speakers also charged Musk with supporting the genocidal bombing of Gaza with the support of both Biden and Trump.
Musicians including Jimmy Kelly also performed songs about the role of Musk and a new mural was unveiled by muralist artist Andrew Kong Knight. The rally was initiated by the Tesla Workers Solidarity Network.
