You're missing the point. What I'm saying is that the metric system is built around base 10, not because of its properties, but because it's the base we use in general - and the simplicity of having one single system with sea

I agree with base 10 being inconvenient, but I'm failing to see what that has to do with the metric system. The principle could be applied to any base; base 10 just happens to be the one that we're (currently) using.

I stand corrected, must've quoted something very old. Parent argument is still invalid, though.

The argument that dockworkers single-handedly is deciding what is allowed to be imported is simply false to begin with. The members of the Transport don't dictate what's allowed to be imported - there's just no-one that'

I'm not really expecting to turn any Musk-fanatics around if I'm being honest, even though a serious argument or two from a couple of them could be fun. I'm more interested in providing context to those who read the comments

To be fair, I've made the same (not identical) arguments over three different threads on the same subject. However, I'm still waiting for the first serious reply with an actual argument.

Sorry, please provide more context for me to able to answer your question. /s PS. I explained why it's legal and why other unions feel obligated to join in, but you have not provided any arguments to why it should be illegal. Plea

You also have minimum wages regulated by law. In Sweden, both strikes and minimum wages are regulated by the agreement Tesla is refusing to sign. The union wants regulation, that's the whole point. Tesla only have themselves to blame f

Please provide a reputable source of Tesla workers not striking and a theory of who it is that is standing by the so called picket fence. The unions are allowed to strike because Tesla refuse to sign the collective agreement that regulates

There's no mention of this union, or postal services, in that article. (It was published before SEKO put Tesla on notice)

Geely Holding Group owns 51% of Volvo Cars, your argument is invalid. (The trucks are manufactured by Volvo AB.)

More than 90% of the labor in Sweden is covered by collective agreements. Tesla is breaking unwritten rules and is threatening the Swedish model, this is bound to meet heavy resistance from the Swedish labor in full force. While the US regu

You do know that 90% of Swedish workers are covered by collective agreements, right? While the unions have lost members over the last few decades, about 70% of the population is still members of a union. As such, the number 0.01% only prove

Yeah, other Nordic unions is an interesting thought that has crossed my mind as well. Tesla, Amazon and other American companies that refuse to conform to the local customs either is or will be a problem for everyone in the region, so there

To summarize: Yesterday, dockworkers began their blockade after giving notice a while back. The electricians and maintenance workers gave notice of sympathy strikes yesterday, refusing to do repairs of Tesla's charging stations and mai

TLDR; The Swedish union of Service and Communications puts Tesla on notice of a sympathy strike, refusing to deliver mail and packages to Tesla in support of IF Metall's demand of a collective agreement. The action will go into effect

Please provide sources for that information. That's categorically false and you would not be able to find this information published by a reputable source. If it were true, there wouldn't be a picket fence and Tesla wouldn't

At first, only some workers were taken out on strike, paper shufflers and service mechanincs not included, and Tesla immediately started to bring in strike breakers from other parts of Sweden. If no one is striking, who do you think is stan

They don't, and cars can still come in to Swedish ports... There's just not anyone there that's willing to unload those made by Tesla before the ship has to leave again. The unions are allowed to strike because Tesla refuse t

They're attacking the Swedish model, doing things that no one had done for a century. It's not illegal to bring in local strike breakers (aka scabs) because it's so extremely frowned upon that no one did it anyway. You made y

That would be SEKO. I'm personally hoping for them and Finansförbundet (bank employees) to signal on Wednesday or Thursday that they'll be joining in, together with an expansion of Transport's involvement. They're all me

Sympathy strikes is not the same thing as boycotts. "Sixteen different sector unions participated in the sympathy strikes. Dockworkers refused to [...]. Printers refused [...]. Truckers [...]. Typographers [...]. Food and beverage work
