...Is it true?
It's well worth remembering what happened at the NUMMI factory the first time around. There was an excellent NPR podcast covering that story with lots of interviews. It doesn't seem to be available anymore, though the transcript is still online.Article brought to you courtesy of the UAW in their increasingly blatant efforts to sink their talons into Tesla. I'l bet the thought of ruining the NUMMI factory twice makes them giddy.

Some plants are set up so that the vehicle height doesn't require the worker to work so awkwardly (e.g. reach up, bend down, etc.) When I toured a Nissan plant in Oppama, Japan in 03, they were trying out having the vehicle raised and lowered to working height.I read some complaints about working with hands above the head.
The following picture is on a SEAT assembly line so other car factories have the same issue.
I think that some approaches is to have some of the workers following a car to work on different posts during their shift.
I am more concerned about the number of additional workers needed for the future M3 assembly line,
while the parking situation is already a big issue. A new BART station nearby recently opened but going
from a production of about 100k a year MS/MX to an additional 300k a year M3 would not be simple.
"Ambulances have been called more than 100 times since 2014 for workers experiencing fainting spells, dizziness, seizures, abnormal breathing and chest pains, according to incident reports obtained by the Guardian. Hundreds more were called for injuries and other medical issues."
Math Time: 10,000 workers @ 40 hrs/week * 51 weeks * 3 years = 61,200,000 hours
Lets say an ambulance was called 300 times in those 3 years. That would be one call per 204,000 hours worked.
That comes out to an ambulance call for each individual employee working 40 hour weeks for 100 years.
That seems very low as a normal individual has the ambulance called for them more than once every 23.3 years of just living.
Are my numbers off somewhere?
