美国汽车工人联合会(United Auto Workers Union)周二表示，该工会已对前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)和埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)提起联邦劳工指控。
在一个X轴上的螺纹该工会表示，特朗普和马斯克非法试图“威胁和恐吓那些通过参与罢工等受保护的一致行动来捍卫自己的工人。”
已经支持特朗普当选总统的马斯克周一晚上在X Spaces上对他进行了两个小时的采访，这次采访的用户超过了100万。
在采访中，特朗普称赞马斯克是“最伟大的切割者”，似乎指的是他接管X时进行的大规模裁员，当时X被称为Twitter。
“我是说，我看着你做什么。你走进来，说，‘你想退出吗?“特朗普说。”我不会提公司的名字，但是他们罢工，你说，‘你们都完了。’"
根据《国家劳动关系法》，罢工被认为是受保护的活动，工人不能因为罢工而被合法解雇。
“当我们说唐纳德·特朗普是工贼时，这就是我们的意思，”UAW总统肖恩·费恩在一份声明中说。“当我们说特朗普反对我们联盟所代表的一切时，这就是我们的意思。”
“唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)将永远站在反对工人捍卫自己的一边，他将永远站在像埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)这样的亿万富翁一边，马斯克每月向超级政治行动委员会(Super PAC)捐款4500万美元，以帮助他当选，”费恩继续说道。“特朗普和马斯克都希望工人阶级坐下来闭嘴，他们公开嘲笑这一点。这很恶心，不合法，从这两个小丑身上完全可以预见。”
特朗普竞选高级顾问布莱恩·休斯(Brian Hughes)在给美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)的一份声明中谴责这些指控是“无聊的”，并称之为“无耻的政治噱头”。
“民主党特殊利益集团的老板们可能会撒谎，煽动恐惧，试图阻止特朗普总统建立历史上最广泛的候选人联盟，但普通工人和他们的家人知道真相。特朗普总统加强了我们的经济，并代表被遗忘的美国男女取得了成果，他将在11月5日再次当选时再次这样做，”休斯说。
马斯克否认了他每月出资4500万美元帮助特朗普当选的报道。然而，他一直直言不讳地反对工人成立工会。
周二，马斯克回复一个帖子在X上关于劳工指控，批评费恩，回应道，“上两任UAW总统因贿赂入狱和腐败，根据最近的消息，看起来这个家伙会加入他们!"
麝香告诉BBC的詹姆斯·克莱顿2023年4月，在Spaces的一次采访中，他说Twitter的裁员是“他不得不做的最艰难的事情之一。”
UAW files federal labor charges against Donald Trump and Elon Musk
The United Auto Workers Union has filed federal labor charges against former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the union said Tuesday.
In athread on X, the union said Trump and Musk had illegally attempted to "threaten and intimidate workers who stand up for themselves by engaging in protected concerted activity, such as strikes."
Musk -- who has endorsed Trump for president -- interviewed him for two hours Monday night on X Spaces in a conversation that reached over 1 million users.
During the interview, Trump praised Musk as the "greatest cutter," seemingly referring to the mass layoffs he conducted when he took over X, then known as Twitter.
"I mean, I look at what you do. You walk in, you say, 'You want to quit?" Trump said. "I won't mention the name of the company, but they go on strike, and you go, 'You're all gone.'"
Going on strike is considered protected activity under the National Labor Relations Act, and workers cannot legally be fired for doing so.
"When we say Donald Trump is a scab, this is what we mean," UAW President Shawn Fain said in a statement. "When we say Trump stands against everything our union stands for, this is what we mean."
"Donald Trump will always side against workers standing up for themselves, and he will always side with billionaires like Elon Musk, who is contributing $45 million a month to a Super PAC to get him elected," Fain continued. "Both Trump and Musk want working-class people to sit down and shut up, and they laugh about it openly. It's disgusting, illegal, and totally predictable from these two clowns."
Trump campaign senior adviser Brian Hughes decried the charges as "frivolous" and called it a "shameless political stunt" in a statement to ABC News.
"Democrat special interest bosses may lie and stoke fear to try and stop President Trump from creating the broadest coalition of any candidate in history, but rank-and-file workers and their families know the truth. President Trump strengthened our economy and delivered results on behalf of the forgotten men and women of America, and he will do it again when he is re-elected on November 5," Hughes said.
Musk has denied reports he is contributing $45 million a month to get Trump elected. He has long been outspoken against workers forming unions, however.
On Tuesday, Muskreplied to a poston X about the labor charges, criticizing Fain, responding, "The last two UAW presidents went to prison for bribery& corruption and, based on recent news, it looks like this guy will join them!"
Musktold BBC's James Claytonin April 2023 during a Spaces interview that the cuts at Twitter were "one of the hardest things he's had to do."
