What you seem to miss is that this is not a labor dispute, it's a political dispute, Tesla has absolutely no conflict with its own employees. The employees of other companies - some, essential service providers for Swedish state - selectively target Tesla for what they perceive as a political threat to their interests.
Where will these political demands stop? Will the unions drive into a bankruptcy any company that expands in another low cost, not unionized country? Any company that employs migrants? Who would bet a billion dollar investment on the answer to such questions?

- dang 3y agoPlease don't break the site guidelines like this, no matter how wrong someone is or you feel they are. It isn't in your interest anyhow, since it only discredits your own view. The thing to do, when someone else is wrong, is to respond to incorrect information with true information, and to bad arguments with good arguments. If you don't want to do that or don't have time, that's ok, but please don't substitute for it with putdowns, name-calling, and so on; that just degrades discussion. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
- VoxPelli 3y agoIt feels odd to have to provide sources to disprove someone who didn’t provide sources for their claims. That makes it asymmetrically harder to respond to lies than it is to spread them. One should be able to point out that a source-less comment is questionable without having to reference sources oneself.
- cornholio 3y agoI have no idea what you are talking about. It's well documented the striking employees are not Tesla employees. It's also clear they target Tesla - that's the whole deal with a solidarity strike. Those are the only two factual pieces of information in my comment, they can be easily verified and should be known to most poeple following the topic to the point of requiring no sources. Everything else in the comment, such as the assessment that the action is politically motivated, is clealry a statements of opinion, not fact. And because my opinions run contrary to your own political convictions, you felt the need for a personal attack. It's quite audacious to present such an exchange as an issue with sources.
- dang 3y agoIt's not a question of providing sources. It's about having thoughtful, informative exchange. Your GP comment was the opopsite.
