SVT has hits an employee at the Teslafabriken. The man, who wants to be anonymous, talks about tough working conditions, where the work is heavy, the tempo with few breaks.
– It is about keeping down production costs as much as possible to get as much profit as possible from this factory. And I think that is exploitation, he continues.
Restricted trade union rights
The attempts to organize unionist are counteracted, says the employee. And that Elon Musk now shows his support to the AfD is no coincidence, he says.
– I think it’s systematic. That just such parties, which are also found in, for example, the United States or Italy, not only spread racism but above all want to restrict union rights and democratic rights and ultimately legitimize what has become practice in our factory. I mean he sees AfD as the party that can make it possible.
Tesla has not responded to SVT’s requests for an interview regarding working conditions.
