United Auto Workers union takes on Trump and Musk
The union’s legal action against the high-profile billionaires’ intimidation tactics is energising members and reshaping political discourse, writes CAMERON HARRISON

THE US United Auto Workers (UAW) brought federal labour charges against Donald Trump and Elon Musk on Tuesday August 13, branding them as “disgraced billionaires” for their illegal actions to bully and intimidate workers participating in protected concerted activity, including strikes.
“I mean, I look at what you do,” Trump told Musk in an interview broadcast on Monday night, explaining how he would deal with striking workers.
“You walk in, you say, you want to quit? They go on strike, I won’t mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and you say, that’s OK, you’re all gone. You’re all gone. So, every one of you is gone.”
