The conflict between Swedish unions and Tesla heated up on Friday as a supplier of critical components joined in a sympathy action to get the electric car maker to sign a collective bargaining agreement for its Swedish workers.
The Swedish union IF Metall called the strike, not the Tesla employees, because IF Metall had been unsuccessful in voluntarily getting Tesla to participate.
They want handouts. It’s basically like all unions: A small group of usually old, poorly performing employees who hold the company hostage for more money. These guys aren’t even Tesla employees and they couldn’t care less about them.
No handouts, it’s about tesla signing minimum benefits which is salary, vacation, work hours and other basic benefits.
As of now tesla is not obligated by any cba to keep basic levels, if it is like tesla and those supporting claims that things are better than this deal then nothing will change for Tesla by signing.
How can it be about hand outs when they literally get nothing out of it? The union does not take any money from the company and workers does not need to join the union to be covered by the CBA.
Can anyone explain why they started striking in the first place?

If a company can be forced…. It’s not voluntary.
You’re right, thankfully they can’t be forced.
Pretty much…

All unions? That’s…I’m not even sure what to call it :p Average age in our bargaining unit where I work is around 35.
