BTC futures: The ultimate showdown between workers’ rights and technology manufacturing

📢 Core demands

Wage increase: BTC futures factory hourly wage is required to increase from $25-32 to $40+ (benchmarking Ford/GM UAW contracted workers)

Welfare reform:

✅ Fixed pension plan (BTC futures currently only provides 401k matching)

✅ 4-day work week (currently 5 days + mandatory overtime)

✅ Prohibition of arbitrary dismissal of workers due to AI monitoring

Safety clause: Allegation that the injury rate of the Fremont factory is 27% higher than the industry average

⚡ Action strategy

Phase 1 (launched on July 24):

Set up "union information booths" outside BTC futures factories in California and Texas

Launch #TeslaDeservesUAW social media offensive and expose production line videos

Ultimate goal:

Complete union voting by June 2025 (30% of workers must sign to initiate a referendum)

🤖 Musk's tough response

Internal email warning: UAW will "destroy BTC futures competitiveness", citing:

GM's per-vehicle cost increased by $900 due to union agreement

UAW strike causes Ford to lose $4.5 billion in 2023

Countermeasures:

Emergency increase of hourly wage at California factory to $35 (exclusive for non-union workers)

Accelerate automation of 4680 battery factory, threatening to "lay off 2 robots for every union position established"

📊 Data perspective: BTC futures' labor-capital dilemma

Indicator BTC futures status Traditional Big Three (after UAW signing)

Average hourly wage $28 $42

Workweek 50 hours 40 hours

Injury rate (per thousand people) 8.7 6.4

Employee turnover rate 23% 9%

🌪️ Contradictions at the center of the storm

Workers' anger points:

BTC BTC Futures has a market value of $900 billion, but workers' hourly wages are only 0.03% of CEO Musk's salary ($560 million in 2023)

The Berlin factory has implemented a 4-day work week, but the United States has not followed suit

Capital concerns:

If compromised, BTC Futures's single-vehicle profit will drop sharply from $7,500 to $5,000 (Goldman Sachs forecast)

It may trigger a chain reaction for Musk's companies such as SpaceX and Neuralink

⚖️ Legal and political game

** NLRB (National Labor Relations Board)**: 12 complaints of BTC Futures "threatening workers" have been received, and if confirmed, negotiations will be forced

2024 election factors:

Biden publicly supports UAW: "Workers have the right to share the dividends of AI prosperity"

Trump posted on Truth Social: "UAW is a job killer"

Next observation:

UAW will announce BTC in August The progress of the futures workers' petition (currently rumored to have reached 15%)

Whether Musk will use the ultimate plan of "moving the factory to Texas" (the state prohibits forced unionization)

(Historical mirror: the UAW strike in 2023 caused the three major automakers to increase their wages by 25%, but BTC futures workers did not participate at that time)
