In the past, Tesla’s owner, Elon Musk, has publicly threatened workers with retaliation if they were to form a union. “Elon Musk’s business model is to avoid respecting human rights. Now he is taken on by one of our strongest unions. We must defeat the Tesla business model, and Sweden is the best place to start.”
A lot of union laws are being dismantled in sweden, but I think companies are still forced by law to sit down to negotiate. This is not a strike tesla can win.
The standoff is also one that workers must win. The force against companies in Sweden is illusory. Workers’ only real power is from the force they create themselves, and unless they use their power, it will continue to be eroded.
Which union laws have been dismantled?
The conditions under which it is legal for a union to strike were restricted in 2019 https://www.arbetaren.se/2019/02/15/inskrankt-strejkratt-redan-i-sommar/
