    They tried to do this with the IRA by requiring it to be a union workforce. Before the bill was finished that got reduced to an additional bonus for union labor shops, and then that got completely removed in I believe it was the senate?

      The Inflation Reduction Act?

      Irish Republican Army?

      Individual Retirement Account?

      Edit: Assume you mean the first one, just nkt sure what the “it” you mean is. Tesla? They wanted to require Tesla go fully union…?

        Inflation reduction act.

        Early on there was talks that the act was going to require OEMs to be union shops to get the benefits.

        Then the bill was released and it was something like $4500 for everyone and and additional $3000 if your factory had union labor.

        Then when it got to the senate or house, the union portion got removed and it was $7500 for everyone.
