Tesla Tesla factory workers reveal pain, injury and stress: 'Everything feels like the future but us' Julia Carrie Wong in Fremont, California juliacariew Thu 13 May 2017 03 00 BST f y The Tesla CEO has been celebrated for his ambition, but workers say there is a human cost to his bold agenda for growth.

But some of the human workers who Premier League calls off six share the factory with their robotic counterparts complain of grueling more games due to Covid but rejects calls for break pressure - which they attribute to Musk's aggressive production goals - and sometimes life-changing injuries.

Hundreds more were called rinjuries and fighting on day two after other medical issues. Buttler's nightmare drop In a phone interview about the conditions at the factory, which employs about 10,000 workers, the Tesla CEO conceded his workers had been having a hard time, working long hours, and on hard jobs", but said he cared deeply about their health and wellbeing. His company says its factory safety record has significantly improved over the last year. Musk also said that Tesla should not be compared to major US carmakers and that its market capitalization, now more than $50bn, is unwarranted. "I do believe this market cap is higher than we have any right to deserve," he said, pointing out his company produces just 1% of GM's total output. "We're a money-losing company," Musk added. This is not some situation where, for example, we are just greedy capitalists who decided to skimp on safety in order to have more profits and dividends and that kind of thing. It's just a question of how much money we lose. And how do we survive? How do we not die and have everyone lose their jobs?"

Photograph: Josh Edelson/The Guardian The company did release more recent data, which indicates its record of safety incidents went from slightly above the industry average in late 2016, to a performance in the first few months of 2017 that was 32% better than average. The company said that its decision to add a third shift, introduce a dedicated team of ergonomics experts, and improvements to the factory's "safety teams" account for the significant reduction in incidents since last year. Musk said safety was paramount at the company. "It's incredibly hurtful, and, I think, false for anyone to claim that I don't care." The CEO said his desk was "in the worst place in the factory, the most painful place", in keeping with his management philosophy. It's not some comfortable corner office." In early 2016, he said, he slept on the factory floor in a sleeping bag "to make it the most painful thing possible". "I knew people were having a hard time, working long hours, and on hard jobs. I wanted to work harder than they did, to put even more hours in," he said. "Because that's what I think a manager should do." He added: "We're doing this because we believe in a sustainable energy future, trying to accelerate the advent of clean transport and clean energy production, not because we think this is a way to get rich." 1 It's incredibly Tesla workers who spoke to the Guardian echoed this sense of hurtful and I think pride and enthusiasm for the company's mission. "We're false for anyone to changing the world," enthused Ortiz. "I can't wait for my claim that I don't granddaughter to one day go to class and say, "My grandfather care was in there." Elon Musk, Tesla CEO But that pride did not erase what Ortiz described as a prevailing mood of "mass disappointment" over working conditions and what he alleged were avoidable work-related injuries. He recently lost the strength in his right arm, a situation he said was "scaring" him. "I want to use my arm when I'm retired," he added. Others described repetitive stress injuries they linked to working long hours. Before the company reduced the average time of a workday in October 2016, workers said they routinely worked 12-hour shifts, six days a week. Tesla said the change had been "a success", and resulted in a 50% decline in overtime hours. Sanchez and other wurkers said they believed more injuries occurred becne, for years, the company did not take warkor safety seriously, with same managers helittling their complaints and pressuring them to work through pain.
