Lots of Dems Love Elon Musk...but, does he use Union Workers to Build his Tesla Cars?

5. I would exempt start-up companies from unionizing, as far as my anger goes.

It's extremely difficult to get a new business off the ground, esp vehicles. Every dollar counts. I don't fault a start-up operation from not using union workers to build the cars. Other car makers are established. To me, that's different.

I noted that he also bought used equipment, bought certain kinds of equipment so as not to have tougher regulations re the environment, and got a great deal on the plant. So he's cost-cutting everywhere.

As long as he's paying decent wages. It doesn't say he's not providing health care. It says he didn't inherit health care liabilities. Not sure if that means retirement health care benefits or what.

I think the article is referring to the fact that he didn't buy an existing plant with the workers, and inherited pension and retirement health care liabilities. But not sure.
