"showing how necessary labor unions are" Chicago is a great example of labor unions and how well they work out.
What are some other examples of how well they work out? Paid holiday? Days off? Working environments that weren't deathtraps? Sounds pretty good to me.
It does not seem to violate HN guidelines: not politics, clickbait or fraud, and could serve as an investigative piece.
Just because there is some criticism on a tech darling - it is not even a personal attack.
Is HN turning into a liberal censorship site? I thought HN valued curiosity and truth...
Note: I am not surprised with people's discourse nowadays.
Can someone please unflag it?
Updated: thank you for unflagging

The article suggests she was fired because she asked for a meeting with Musk about floor mats after failing to get the proper response from the regular chain of command. In my experience, everywhere I worked had a chain of command and consistently stepping outside the chain of command and going over your managers heads rarely leads to good results. From an article mentioned in the LA Times article > She considered le…
Did you miss the part where Musk announced that employees are to disregard hierarchy and go directly up the chain if it solves problems faster, including all the way to the top? Weeks earlier, in a companywide email, Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk had dumped on the concept of corporate hierarchy. Find “the fastest way to solve a problem to the benefit of the whole company” and don’t worry about your boss, he told th…
I had a department head tell us his door is always open and to contact him about stuff (company policy supports the open door policy). I took him up on it. When I showed up, he had another manager there in addition to himself (it was supposed to be a scheduled meeting with just me and him). I was later rated poorly, both in an interview and at year end, for a lack of leadership (following the hierarchy).

> The woman from human resources opened the doors — those big heavy fire doors with the push bars. She led the way through an unlighted, windowless room, draped in plastic, smelling of paint. Cristina Balan grew nervous. “This doesn’t look like the way to Elon’s office,” she thought to herself. She was led, she said, through another door into a room where she saw two large men in security uniforms behind desks. They…

Chicago is also a great example of democracy and how well it works out, along with Russia. Maybe don't make a place with massive corruption your example.
What the hell do you people think Chicago is? It's not 1929 anymore.
So, let's try to be objective about this. Tesla's viewpoint is that Cristina had an internal conflict with other managers regarding the choice of one of the suppliers [0]: > For example, Ms. Balan was unhappy with a particular supplier that was selected by an internal group of subject matter experts who extensively studied the issue.
