Tesla To Raise Pay For Hourly Nevada Gigafactory Workers; See Details

Tesla, an American multinational automotive and clean energy company, is set to raise pay for the set-rate hourly workers in January. Electric vehicle (EV) maker Tesla Inc will increase the pay for hourly workers from $20 to $22 an hour on the low end starting early January.

According to a CNBC report, the EV maker will bump the pay to $34.50 an hour from $30.65 on the high end. The pay raise can add anywhere from $2 to $8.30 an hour to their wages.

The company informed Tesla workers at its battery factory in Sparks, Nevada, that some set-rate hourly workers will witness pay increases around 10% starting in early January 2024.

According to internal materials seen by CNBC, the $26.20 and $30.65 an hour at present will be adjusted to $34.50 an hour. 

What to expect?

The hourly wages will be increased for Tesla workers in Nevada, a state in the Western region of the United States. The pay raise may help the Tesla company stave off workers’ interest in forming a union. They may not push for a collective wage agreement in Nevada. 

Previously, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said at the New York Times DealBook Summit last month, “I disagree with the idea of unions.”
