Is that true? I see contradictory statements sometimes. Supposedly the workers are happy with their situation and aren’t joining the strike. Would love to see sources that refute that; it’s hard to get facts from a different country in a different continent.

Its roughly the same on the other side. Its usually an anti-corporation, anti-1%, anti-Tesla or Musk in this case cheering for the Union.

Even the post you responded to; there is a lot of things being said that are just projections of that person’s understanding of what a Union is and what is being faught for.

I dont think anyone can argue against good outcomes for the workers; and so far, I’m not convinced that is the driving motivation of the this particular Union. If instead, their motivations are to perserve the strength of the Union so that the leadership holds on to power and influence, then thats not a good outcome for the worker.

Every post on Tesla v IF Metall you dont have to look too far before you see a highly upvoted comment that is stating a lot of things based on preconcieved notions of Unions Vs Anti-union company. Its clear most people here dont really understand what is going on, myself included to be fair.

I think everyone here can agree on good outcomes for the workers. So I’m curious what outcomes the Union want to achieve and what their motivations are.

I’ve herd people suggest Tesla just pull out of Sweden and that would be fine by the union. There are suggestions that the union is hell bend on setting an example with Tesla; that if they dont Unionize, others may realize they dont want to either. These are not good outcomes for the workers; rather good outcomes for Union Leadership who want to hold on to power.

In the end, it would be great if they let workers at Tesla decide; hold a vote and if the majority want to Unionize, they should be allowed to.

Not buying a Tesla just because of Elon is only harming you. He doesn’t know you and doesn’t care if you get one, his life will not change if you get one or not; you on the other hand are the one suffering. Soon enough the Tesla charges will open to everyone and he’ll get your money then anyways. For your own sake, think of buying a Tesla more as supporting all the rest of the amazing people who work there and 87% others who own the stock.
