One is a business decision, the other one is people exercising their rights.



People don't have rights over others private property that's the of the basis of human rights.


The company control their private property. The labour can only control their own labour, so they choose to use that control. How is that not in their right?


I totally agree, they all have the right to not work there, but they don't really have a right to prevent others from delivering packages to a building.


Nobody is preventing that. Other workers _voluntarily_ refuse to provide their services to Tesla.


Yes, but people still have the right to say "Pay us $X and ensure safe working conditions or we strike" Tesla can either withdraw or negotiate. Nobody's right is infringed here, it's just free market. Especially as usually the workers have it worse than companies.


> People don't have rights over others private property

Have the workers looted Tesla's plants? Are they burning down Tesla cars in transit?

No?

Then fuck off. Workers are simply negotiating for a fair price for THEIR private property - the labor services that they provide.
