Tesla—Tesla raised hourly wages up to 10% at Nevada Gigafactory amid union organizing activity
In December 2023, Tesla informed workers at its battery factory in Sparks, Nevada, that some hourly workers would see pay increases of approximately 10% starting in January 2024, bumping hourly pay from $20-$30.65 to $22-$34.50 per hour. The wage increases came amid growing UAW union activity in the auto industry following successful strikes at legacy automakers. Analysts noted the raises appeared designed to stave off workers' interest in forming a union.
