Several employees at a Tesla factory in New York have been fired a day after launching union organizing efforts, according to Tesla Workers United. The workers at the Buffalo plant received an email Wednesday evening updating them on a new policy that prohibits them from recording workplace meetings without all participants’ permission, the group said in a release Thursday. It said that such restrictions violate federal labor law and flouts New York’s one-party consent law to record conversations.
