Tesla on Wednesday (Feb 15) laid off dozens of employees from its Autopilot department at its Buffalo plant in New York, a day after workers launched a campaign to form a union, according to a complaint filed with a government agency.
据路透社报道，依据提交给政府机构的投诉，特斯拉于本周三（2 月 15 日）解雇了旗下位于纽约布法罗工厂的自动驾驶部门的数十名员工，2月14日，工人们发起了组建工会的运动。
Earlier this week, Tesla workers in New York said they will unionise with Workers United Upstate New York, which would help give them a voice at their workplace.
本周早些时候，特斯拉纽约布法罗工厂的工人们表示，他们将加入纽约州北部工人联合会，这将有助于在工作场所发表意见。
The Workers United Upstate New York union in a filing with the US National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on Wednesday accused the world's most valuable automaker of hitting back by terminating some of the employees "in retaliation for union activity".
在提交给美国国家劳动关系委员会的一份文件中，纽约州北部工人联合会指控全球最有价值的汽车公司特斯拉非法解雇员工，“以报复并打击工会活动”。
The company fired more than 30 employees, the union said in the statement, adding that the workers also received an email with an updated policy, which prohibits them from recording workplace meetings without all participants' permission.
纽约州北部工人联合会在一份声明中表示，特斯拉大约解雇了30名员工。声明补充说，工人们还收到了一封包含政策更新的电子邮件，禁止他们在未经所有参与者许可的情况下录制工作场所的会议。
"This policy violates federal labor law and also flouts New York's one-party consent law to record conversations."
声明表示，“这项政策，违反了联邦劳动法，也无视纽约的'单方同意法’来录制谈话。”
The employees had asked the electric carmaker to respect their right to organize a union and called on the company to sign the Fair Election Principles, which would prevent Tesla from threatening or retaliating against the workers.
员工要求特斯拉尊重他们组织工会的权利，并呼吁公司签署公平选举原则，以防止特斯拉对工人进行威胁或者报复。
Chief Executive Elon Musk has in the past been vocal about his opposition to unions and said in a 2018 tweet that employees would lose their stock options if they formed a union, prompting the NLRB to ask him to delete the tweet.
特斯拉首席执行长埃隆马斯克过去曾直言不讳地反对工会，他在2018 年的一条推文中表示，如果员工成立工会，他们将失去股票期权，而美国国家劳动关系委员会则要求马斯克删除这条推文。
