Tesla is refusing to sign a collective bargaining agreement which is basically the norm in Sweden. This has been going on for a couple of weeks and garnered a lot of attention in Swedish media and social media. Sweden has a strong tradition of unionization which clashes with 'big American capitalism'. Swedish subreddits have lately had frequent posts with the comment sections filled with comments that more or less in unison are saying 'go get them, grabs popcorn' in support of the actions taken against Tesla.
- VoxPelli 3y agoThe strike has been ongoing for a couple of weeks but in the result of Tesla refusing to negotiate despite five years of attempts from the union. So it’s actually ongoing for +5 year
- SwedishExpat 3y agoYes, the reason this escalated was they brought in strike breakers
- Ovah 3y agoGood point. Small but important distinction.
- emptysongglass 3y agoExactly the same in the Danish subreddits. I'd assume the same in Norwegian and Finnish subs too. The feeling of camaraderie is nearly unanimous.
- dotandgtfo 3y agoUnanimous support in the Norwegian subreddit as well. I don't think Tesla's will be as popular in the future. They've greatly damaged their brand through these actions already.
