Improved to Good Article status by Shushugah (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 23:26, 6 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Tesla and unions; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Promoted to GA on the day of the DYK. Very good article on a topical issue that I suspect will get a LOT of clicks. Hook directly cited, all checks green, lots of high-quality cites. Might suggest adding an image, perhaps the lead image in the Tesla Fremont Factory article, which has relevance as one of the primary sites mentioned within.

@Onegreatjoke and Maury Markowitz: is it the company that is represented by the union, or its workers? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 22:31, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

@Theleekycauldron: based on the cited source it seems to be the workers so I can modify the hook to be.

Alt1"... that Tesla, Inc. is the only major auto manufacturer whose workers are not represented by a union in the United States?"

Now we're getting somewhere, but the source doesn't seem to fully support the claim. The source says [Telsa,] up until now has managed to avoid unionization at its U.S. facilities unlike other major automakers. that doesn't seem to fully rule out the idea that another major automaker isn't unionized, and looks more like a general statement than a definitive one. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 18:11, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
