Black Tesla workers recently sued their employer for an extremely well documented pattern of racial discrimination. Whereas lawsuits seldom even reimburse successful plaintiffs for their injuries, this suit could be the prelude to the United Auto Workers union and Bay Area left organizing Tesla, defeating the notoriously anti-union Elon Musk. How can this battle be fought to advance the needed transformation can of U.S. industry? Bill Resnick interviews Malik Miah, a Black aviation worker and prolific writer. Miah's recent article "Black Workers Sue Tesla Over Systemic Racism" can be found online in the journal International Viewpoint here
