Tesla has been selling and servicing cars in Sweden from almost 10 years, it was business as usual till the union decided to strike.

To not paint a target on striking employees in case of small strikes. > Tesla has been selling and servicing cars in Sweden from almost 10 years, it was business as usual till the union decided to strike. The union has been trying to negotiate with Tesla during that period. Sweden traditionally has very weak labor laws, there is not even a minimum wage. Instead, Sweden relies on strong unions, with more than 70% of employees in unions. There are unwritten rules on how businesses should behave, but Tesla just decided to ignore them. It was OK while Tesla was still a small scrappy startup, but they're not anymore.
