Unions across Sweden said on Tuesday that they would support an effort to pressure Tesla to sign a collective bargaining agreement with its 120 mechanics, joining a campaign to defend a model of organized labor that many Swedes say is essential to the country’s economic success and stability.
Dockworkers said they would expand their blockade of the automaker’s shipment to all ports in Sweden next week, after launching the action at four key locations. The electricians’ union said its members would stop servicing Tesla charging stations when they needed a repair, and maintenance workers said they wouldn’t clean Tesla facilities.
The transport union said last week that it would refuse to unload any Teslas arriving by ship to four large Swedish ports beginning Tuesday. After it learned that Tesla was rerouting shipments to other ports, the union said, it expanded its job action to block such shipments to all Swedish ports starting Nov. 17 unless an agreement is reached.
You really have to be uniquely shitty to get Swedish unions to take action against you nowadays.
We already offer equivalent or better agreements than those covered by collective bargaining and find no reason to sign any other agreement.
Yeah if the union is asking for less than the workers already get then Tesla totally wouldn't sign it. I guess the key question is: better agreements for who?

I love that this will impact the bourgeois fucks that own a Tesla car, too
