Tesla strike in Sweden now involves Denmark, may spread to Norway and Finland — “Just like companies, the trade union movement is global in the fight to protect workers,” says chair of Danish union::Tesla is locked in a titanic struggle with Sweden’s largest labor union. The result could have repercussions around the world.

This isn’t just people standing up for themselves. This is governments protecting people.
Meanwhile the swedish gpvernment is moving to make sympathy strikes where workers in other companies won’t work with tesla (deliver packages and similar) illegal…
It would be quite unfortunate if the sympathetically striking workers all “got sick” at the same time the Swedish government told them their strike was “illegal”, wouldn’t it?
Fuck!
Guess who are governments
That’s not how the us works
I think you missed 4th word in headline
No I didn’t. I’m praising governments willing to stand of for their people. I’m responding to someone else that said the government works for the people and I said that’s not how the US works. Governments don’t always work for the people, sometimes they bend the knee for corporations.
I wanted to say that governmemts in Sweden and Denmark are made of people too. But yeah, I agree with you then.

Elon musk behaves like a narcissist, so he could threaten to withdraw Tesla from all 4 Nordic countries, just because he is butthurt.
If that should happen, I’m personally OK with that too. We don’t want foreign companies that threaten our right to unionize.There are plenty of other EV options now too so no need for Tesla if they don’t want to be fair to their workers.
There’s no reason yet to leave all 4. All they need to do is leave Sweden and this ends.
I’m not sure what the situation is like in the other countries in terms of CBAs, but they haven’t gone on strike internally for lack of agreement. It’s only sympathy strikes elsewhere right now.
God speed my Scandinavian brothers and sisters
This is what democracy looks like.
The Norwegian union Fagforeningen has stated that if the Swedish Union did not get to av strekene before the 20th, they’ll go into sympathy strike! Here we fucking go!!! Do not fuck with Scandinavians or their labour market - they’ll double fuck you right back!
Very important that Norway gets in on this as well since they were very early and massive adopters of Tesla cars. That one will really chap Elon’s ass.

Hums the Internationale while reading the article.
God damn am I jealous of Scandinavian unions.
I may not live in Sweden or Denmark, but I am happy people improving their and each other’s lives instead of screwing over each other. Faust bless you.
