- mcv 3y agoThe unions aren't striking about labour practices in the US, but in Sweden. That's what this is about. Chinese workers will have to form their own unions, I'm afraid.
- natch 3y agoI get what you’re saying; thanks for the clarification. I’m sure Sweden would have liked to have held on to Volvo, but I guess their system didn’t work out so well on that front.

- hising 3y agoVolvo Cars are still designed and built in Sweden, with swedish workers and engineers, with union agreements.
- Kbelicius 3y ago> I’m sure Sweden would have liked to have held on to Volvo Volvo was not owned by Sweden nor did they close their operations in Sweden... so they did hold on to it?
- mrweasel 3y agoKinda weird that a Chinese company can strike a deal with the unions but a US company can not. Volvos are still being build in Sweden (among other locations).
