Tesla strike in Sweden now involves Denmark, may spread to Norway and Finland — “Just like companies, the trade union movement is global in the fight to protect workers,” says chair of Danish union::Tesla is locked in a titanic struggle with Sweden’s largest labor union. The result could have repercussions around the world.

    Very important that Norway gets in on this as well since they were very early and massive adopters of Tesla cars. That one will really chap Elon’s ass.

    The Norwegian union Fagforeningen has stated that if the Swedish Union did not get to av strekene before the 20th, they’ll go into sympathy strike! Here we fucking go!!! Do not fuck with Scandinavians or their labour market - they’ll double fuck you right back!

    Elon Musk has one word for unions — “No!” He told the New York Times last week, “I disagree with the idea of unions. I just don’t like anything which creates kind of a lords and peasants sort of thing. I think the unions naturally try to create negativity in a company.”

    I just… I really don’t know how to even respond to that… Beyond laughing at how ridiculous that statement is…

    I’d love to see it the Americans follow up once Tesla has unionised in Europe.

    I’d also love to see what Tesla would’ve done without a stubborn idiot as CEO. Maybe it’s time for the shareholders to take another look at the supermajority voting that Musk is abusing to run the company down.
