“What grinds our gears is that a large corporation thinks it can come here and set the rules on the Swedish labor market,” says Trade Union Confederation president Susanna Gideonsson. “To think you can waltz in here as a feudal lord and think a whole country should adapt to one’s whims is just wrong.”
@parismarx Elon Musk is picking a strange hill to die on indeed. If, as Tesla claims, workers already have as good or better conditions than a collective bargaining agreement would guarantee, what’s the problem? Moreover, by negotiating an agreement, unions would not just back off and end the strikes, they would be legally obligated to. Strikes are illegal once a collective bargaining agreement is signed. There’s a reason (normal) businesses like them.
