Several of the online posts said the workers believed the deductions were linked to a fatal accident earlier this year at the plant, and criticized Tesla for the cuts
Tesla’s Shanghai factory workers took to social media to appeal to Elon Musk and the Chinese public after being told at the weekend about cuts to their performance bonuses, according to online posts and employees who spoke to Reuters.
The posts began appearing on forums such as Baidu Tieba late last week. Some took to Twitter, owned by Musk and blocked in China, to tweet to the billionaire, his mother Maye Musk, and Tesla. The workers said Tesla supervisors mentioned a “safety incident” when they were asked about reasons for the bonus cut. They declined to be named out of concern for their jobs.
The local government’s investigation concluded an oversight in Tesla’s safety management indirectly contributed to the accident and said the deceased worker was directly responsible.His mother, Maye Musk is a model who has attracted a following in China. She recently completed a two-week tour in the country during which she visited the Shanghai factory and promoted her memoir.
“Deducting the performance bonus, which should be related to workers’ output and has nothing to do with work safety, is even more unfair,” said Chau.
