Hi John,

The American Jobs Plan includes a tax credit for electric car manufacturers, but one of the biggest names in the industry is a known union-buster: Elon Musk. Sign this petition to make sure President Joe Biden and Congress include strong union protections in the American Jobs Plan.

President Biden’s American Jobs Plan includes expanding a tax credit for manufacturers of electric vehicles, so long as they are made in America by workers in jobs with good wages and labor standards.

 

Here’s the problem: The biggest name in electric vehicles doesn’t just use nonunion labor, but he has been fined by the National Labor Relations Board for violating labor laws to prevent union organizing.

 

That’s right: Elon Musk is a union-buster.

 

So we can’t let anyone, not even the second-richest man in America, pressure President Biden and Congress into removing protections for unions.

 

Tell them that the American Jobs Plan must include strong union protections.

 

In Solidarity,

 

Team AFL-CIO
