Steelworkers official sees history behind union drive at Teslahttps://buffalonews.com/2019/03/19/s...box=1553033502Tesla's solar panel factory stands on a site with historical significance to the United Steelworkers union, as the long-ago home of a Republic Steel complex.
"They built that facility on what we consider sacred USW land, where thousands of good family-sustaining jobs were for decades, prior to the plant closure," said Maria Somma, organizing director for the Pittsburgh-based union.
Last December, the Steelworkers and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers launched an effort to organize hourly workers at Tesla's South Buffalo facility.
"We are committed to making sure that those workers who are working for Tesla, who are on our sacred USW land, get the same rights and the same advantages that our members had prior to the [Republic] plant closing," Somma said.
Why did the original steel plant close? Did they price themselves out of the market or did the demand for steel products drop ?"They built that facility on what we consider sacred USW land
