Trade unions play a more important role in Nordic politics and economics than they do in most other countries. This is largely a result of their organisational success, which has made them key actors in policymaking as well as in collective bargaining.
The Nordic countries continue to have the highest union density in the world. In 2016, of all blue and white-collar workers, membership of trade unions amounted to 52% in Norway, 65% in Finland, 84% in Iceland, 66% in Sweden, and 67% in Denmark. By comparison, between 20 and 30% of employees are generally unionised in most other European Union countries - the exception is Belgium, which has a similar organisational structure to the Nordics - and 10% in the United States. A much larger percentage of employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements, 80-90% in the Nordic countries.
That is not the issue at hand though. If Tesla were to sign the CBA, there would be an absolute minimum of compensation they agree to under no circumstances go below. They would still be free to offer everything they offer now
unions are different over there.

You didn’t answer the question though. If the employees are happy with their compensation, then why is the mafia striking?
They’re not happy with the package. That’s why they’re striking. Why do you think they’re striking?
