一個計劃在特斯拉位于加州弗里蒙特的工廠組建工會的工人組織，向公司董事會寫了一封信，要求獨立董事向包括CEO埃隆·馬斯克在內的管理層施壓，解決有關安全隱患和資金不足等問題。

而就在4天前，馬斯克剛剛在這家工廠舉辦的盛大活動上，將30多輛面向大眾市場的新Model 3汽車交到了員工手中。在交接儀式之前，馬斯克告訴包括《財富》雜志在內的記者，特斯拉將經歷六個月的“生產地獄”，擴大Model 3的生產規模。

而組建工會可能會影響到Model 3的生產計劃。

特斯拉組織工人委員會將信發給了獨立董事會成員，包括新加入的詹姆斯·默多克和琳達·約翰遜·萊斯。該委員會在信中稱，管理層對他們提出的要求視而不見，因此要求董事會成員介入。目前尚不確定有多少工人支持該組織或支持組建工會。

該委員會提出的三個要求，主要涉及健康與安全，以及員工薪酬問題。該員工組織希望了解和參與公司的安全保障計劃，并要求公司允許其審查工廠的危險與傷害數據。工人們還希望參與與工廠設備、輪班制度和人體工程學等有關的公司決策。

另外，工人們還投訴特斯拉沒有明確的員工晉升政策。

信中寫道：“公司沒有就對員工的期望提供指導原則，也沒有定義什么是成功。”信中還指出“由于缺乏財務保障，導致人員流動率很高。”

特斯拉并未立即對置評請求作出答復。

特斯拉的工人過去曾嘗試過組建工會。這一次開始于今年2月，起因是一名員工喬斯·莫蘭在Medium的一篇文章中對特斯拉的工作環境大加控訴，包括低于平均水平的工資，嚴重的強制加班情況，工人士氣低落，升職不公平，高離職率以及工作場所受傷的情況頻發等。莫蘭當時表示，工廠的許多工人一直在“討論組建工會，并曾向美國汽車工人聯盟尋求支持。”（財富中文網）

A group of Tesla workers behind an effort to unionize the automaker's Fremont, Calif. factory have sent a letter to the company's board asking its independent members to put pressure on management including CEO Elon Musk to address concerns about safety and financial shortfalls.

The letter comes just three days after Musk handed over 30 new Model 3 vehicles—the company's product aimed at the mass market—to employees during a splashy event at the factory. It was here, just prior to the handover, that Musk told reporters, including Fortune that Tesla was about to go through six months of manufacturing hell to scale production of the Model 3.

Efforts to unionize could disrupt Tesla's production plans for the Model 3.

The Tesla Organizing Workers' Committee sent the letter to independent board members, including its two newest James Murdoch and Linda Johnson Rice. In the letter, the committee claims its requests to management have been ignored and asked the board members to step in. It's unclear how many workers support this group or efforts to unionize.

The committee had three demands centered on health and safety as well as how employees are evaluated and paid. The group of workers wants access to, and a voice in, the company's safety plan as well as the ability to review data on hazards and injuries as the plant. The workers also want to be a part of company decisions about equipment, rotation schedules, and ergonomics at the factory.

Workers also complained that there is no clear policy for how workers might advance at Tesla.

"There are no guidelines for what is expected of us, or what defines success," the letter said, noting there is "a great deal of workforce turnover due to the financial insecurity."

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Attempts to unionize Tesla's factory have cropped up in the past. The latest effort began in February after Tesla employee Jose Moran made a number of allegations in a post on Medium about the working conditions there, including lower-than-average pay, excessive mandatory overtime, low morale, unfair promotions, high turnover, and frequent workplace injuries. Moran said at the time that many workers at the factory have been "talking about unionizing, and have reached out to the United Auto Workers for support."
