Tesla workers in Buffalo move to form a union

Tesla workers at a plant in Buffalo, New York, on Tuesday announced a campaign to form what would be the electric car company's first union, setting up a potential clash with CEO Elon Musk.

Workers in Tesla's Autopilot division emailed a letter Tuesday to management announcing their intent to unionize and asking the company to stay neutral in the campaign.

The Autopilot union has roughly 800 workers, who analyze data to help the car's self-driving software, and about 1,600 in the Buffalo plant overall, according to an organizer with the campaign.
