[Global Science and Technology Report] According to foreign media reports on May 18, Tesla workers disclosed that due to the unrealistic production targets of the leadership, factory employees work long hours, have great intensity, suffer great physical pain, and even endanger their lives.

Tesla acquired the exhaust vehicle manufacturing plant in Fremont, California. CEO Elon Musk turned the old union factory into a promising new factory. Musk is very optimistic about electric cars, and his efforts have made Tesla's market value more than Ford and General Motors. However, according to Tesla factory employees, they were exposed to extraordinary pressure. In order to achieve the production goals of Musk, their pay is sometimes even life-threatening.

Since 2014, more than 100 ambulances have entered the Tesla plant. These workers are either in syncopation, seizures, breathing difficulties or chest pain.

Jonathan Gallescu is a production technician for Tesla and is also one of the workers who disclosed Tesla's crushing of employees. He said, "I have seen many people rushing out and falling to the floor, like a broken cake, with a distorted face. Unless he has been lying on the floor, we can go and look at his situation. I have a colleague, He has been working, working and working. Then you guessed it, he fell to the floor."

An employee who asked not to be named said, “From the information I got, Musk manages Tesla like a computer, and he doesn’t realize that workers cannot work like a hard disk. When you start to oppress thousands of people. Workers are overloaded with physical labor and the computer program is out of control."

In February, Tesla employees Jose Moran published an article detailing the factory's forced extension of working hours, high injury rates, low wages, and other issues. He also stated that workers are considering joint employment with all American auto workers. They will cooperate to safeguard their legitimate interests.

Michael Sanchez used to have two dreams. One was to become an artist and the other was to become a car maintenance technician. He was ecstatic when he was hired by Tesla five years ago, because at that time he thought Tesla was very promising. Today, Sanchez has two moles on his neck and has to stop working. He will be very painful each time he picks up the pencil. Tesla stated that Sanchez was injured when repairing the tires, but Sanchez stated that his illness was caused by long-term work on the production line. The repaired car was located above the production line. Every time he had to lift his head, he took the tool to repair it. "You can do this on Monday. Do it on Tuesday. On Wednesday, you begin to feel a little uncomfortable. It becomes painful on Thursday. It is completely unbearable on Friday. You can only mechanically repeat this action on Saturday."

Workers believe that the main reason for this problem is that the target plan formulated by the leadership is too unrealistic. They disclosed to The Guardian that Tesla workers work long hours under intense pressure, sometimes with illness and injuries, and these are just to satisfy Musk’s ambitions. Musk even exaggeratedly stated that in 2018 his factory car production would reach 500,000 vehicles (a 495% increase compared to 2016), and this goal relies heavily on the blood and sweat of thousands of workers.

Musk's explanation differs from that of the 15 workers. In response, Musk said, “We are not exploiters, and we do not hesitate to use the lives of our employees in order to earn a profit. Our market value is declining. This is not an example. All we want is how we will survive. Unemployment," he said in a telephone interview about the factory situation. Workers are under stress, working for a long time, and working hard. These problems exist, but at the same time, he also stressed that Tesla is concerned about the health of employees. In the past year, the safety of factories has greatly improved.

According to official statistics, the total accident rate at the Tesla plant exceeded the average from 2013 to 2016. However, Tesla refused to disclose the specific data for the past four years and said that this does not represent the situation of Tesla today.

Tesla's latest public statistics show that since the end of 2016, the safety accident rate has begun to decline, and by early 2017, production safety has exceeded 32% on average.

However, Sanchez and other workers stated that more accidents will occur because Tesla did not take workers’ safety seriously. Some managers ignored the workers’ ideas and forced them to work. When the workers told the person in charge that their body could not be loaded, the response was often like this: "Who is not hard, can't you insist?"

Tesla employees also stated that the company’s treatment of injured employees also made them reluctant to report their physical condition. If an employee is considered unwell, he will receive less wages than normal. No one wants to reduce their wages, so they can only force themselves to overcome their discomfort.

A Tesla spokesperson said that the attitude of individual employees does not represent the situation of the entire factory. We are very concerned about the safety and health of employees. Nothing is more important than the lives of workers. Tesla has already determined to raise safety standards, strive to achieve zero injury rate, and make Tesla the safest factory in the world. Will try to develop new production machines and methods, because the factory needs workers, but they should do is update, maintenance equipment, and the production line should be fully automated.
