No, Tesla is against unions so unions fight back. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/07/world/europe/sweden-tesla-strike.html https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/07/world/europe/sweden-tesla...

  Specifically, Swedish unions are fighting back, which I have come to understand have a Musketeeresque 'all for one, and one for all' model. (I.e. failure to successfully bargain with one union leads to all unions striking against you) IMHO, good for them! The rest of the world gripes about the current ascendancy of corporate combinations over labor... and the Swedish response is to observe that (all labor) is still bigger than (large corporation). Fair bargains come from negotiations between entities with similar levels of power.

    I don't think it's the initial strike that unites all unions against Tesla, but the attempts at breaking the strike by hiring scabs. Escalate the conflict, and the unions unite.

      Tesla should back down before it spills over into other territories. They are really in a mismatched fight here and what works in the United States really isn't going to work in Sweden / The Nordics / The rest of Europe.

  Being from the US, this kind of union solidarity is really beautiful to watch. We've had our own string of recent wins, which has also been pretty fantastic, but seeing it all go down as if this is standard practice hits different. Like the difference between watching your buddy make a wild-ass, hail-mary basketball shot, and watching Micheal Jordan tomahawk dunk. They're both cool to see and amazing in different ways, but there's something mesmerizing about a well-oiled machine performing optimally with (seemingly) no effort.

    From what I understand, solidarity like these are illegal in the US under the Taft–Hartley Act of 1947. (Many other countries as well.) So you aren’t going to see such things at home until there are some pretty drastic changes in federal politics.

    No it seems a bit ridiculous and I totally understand why it’s illegal in the US and other countries.
