This is a needlessly zero-sum interpretation. It ignores other externalities (e.g. Swedish consumers finding other ways to get their Teslas serviced, the Swedish government stepping in), and ignores the obvious fact that the Union and employer might come to a compromise agreement.
People tend to look at union actions as warfare, but Clausewitz is right here too: strikes are the continuation of salary negotiations by other means. The goal isn't (and can't be) "victory" in some kind of abstract idea, with good guys and bad guys. At the end of the day the two sides will decide on a pay/benefit/market structure that they both are happy with, because if that's not possible there's no reason for negotiating to begin with.
