Tesla denies terminating employees in New York in reprisal for union action

Electric vehicle manufacturer, Tesla, has denied allegations that it terminated employees at its Buffalo, New York Autopilot facility in response to a union campaign. Last week, workers at the facility sent a letter to Tesla CEO Elon Musk stating their intention to unionize. The campaign’s organizers subsequently accused the company of illegally firing employees in retaliation. However, in a blog post, Tesla called the accusation a “false allegation” and said that those who were let go lost their jobs due to their own poor performance.
