The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on Thursday decided that Tesla should remove CEO Elon Musk’s anti-union tweet of 2018. The order came as part of Tesla’s appeal of the 2019 ruling by an administrative judge in a protracted legal battle between the company and the United Auto Workers Union.

Tesla must post a notice addressing “illegal tweets” at its factories. This is actually a change from the 2019 ruling, where Musk or someone from the Labor Board would be required to read a notice that Tesla violated the law.

The NLRB stated, “A notice-reading measure here is neither necessary nor appropriate for the resolution of the violations in this case, as the board’s traditional remedies would be sufficient to modify the chilling effect of respondent’s unlawful conduct,” “Said the NLRB.

Several other Tesla orders were also included in this appeal. In particular, Tesla employees are allowed to interact with media that are protected without being approved by the National Labor Relations Act. Previously, employees had language in their confidentiality agreements that they said they could not talk to the media without authorization.
