Swedish union warns of strike at Tesla
www.industriall-union.org
IF Metall has warned of strike action against car manufacturer Tesla’s repair shops in Sweden as Tesla is refusing to enter into negotiations on a collective agreement.

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.”

    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.
