> they are offering even non-member Tesla employees 130% of normal pay to go on strike

That's what all striking members get. The extra 30% is meant to make up for benefits lost during the strike (e.g. retirement fund contributions and vacation day accrual).

The "special" thing they've done is to waive the waiting period that normally applies to new members, so that workers who do agree with the strike can join without to much financial risk.

> talking about sanctions against member employees who continue to show up to work

The sanction is expulsion from the union. Strikebreaking weakens the strike and the union, so that makes perfect sense.
