Tesla has filed a lawsuit against the Swedish government's Transport Agency over a workers' strike that has blocked the U.S. auto maker's requests for license plates for new vehicles, business daily Dagens Industri reported on Monday.
Americans rooting for Sweden in this fight don’t understand that Sweden already has tons of pro workers right and pension etc. This is swedish workers extorting Tesla because they’re swimming in money. I don’t see them protesting against Dacia…
Can you elaborate on that? What exactly do you think they are trying to extort and how can you compare that to Dacia?
I believe Dacia is part of the Stellantis group and as far as I know, they have an agreement with the union. Therefore, a strike against them would in fact be illegal.
No, we don’t. These workers’ rights aren’t enshrined in law. They are bargained for in collective agreements between the unions and the companies. Hence, when a company like Tesla comes in and refuses to sign a collective agreement, it is a problem not only to the Tesla workers, but to the industry as a whole, as it threatens the whole collective model that Swedish industry is based on. If that unravels, then the government might have to come in with a heavier hand and interfer.

Very little of that is set in law. Most of that is set in agreements between companies and unions.
Something tesla is refusing to do.

Dacia is not part of the Stelantis group. They’re simply not rich enough to extort
Dacia is however part of the Renault group which does have a CBA in place.
Redditors reading his comments should understand where this user comes from. New account and lots of hot takes:
okay
yeah
You’re literally just proving me right lmao
Claiming that people don’t understand it while demonstrating your complete ignorance about the Swedish model. Rather ironic.
Americans on reddit hate themselves
I mean, the swedish workers have worse pay and beenfits than tve industry average. Piss off with those lies bud.
every other country in the world has worse pay than murica
Because everything is out of pocket over there…
For every $100 you earn on sweden you have to earn ~$170 in the US to have the same living standard.
So no wonder the standard of living is much worse in the US.
