They already pay above the normal workshop wage in Sweden so the issue isn’t about that. It’s about the collective agreement. You can always go above that, so the argument that they already pay more doesn’t hold. It’s about worker protections and setting a minimum.

Funny thing is that some tesla representative wanted a meeting with someone from the Swedish government and they flat out refused, saying that this was between the workers and employers unions.

Not a fan of a lot of what the current gov’t is doing, but they deserve some credit for this, although they could also have taken the opportunity to educate Tesla that there’s a free market in Sweden and that the gov’t doesn’t intervene in conflicts between companies and unions.

Tbf the current government is for limiting the right to strike. They just don’t have a majority for it.

Shows Tesla doesn’t have any clue how the labour market works in the Nordic countries.

The biggest irony is that this is what libertarians like Musk say they want: for the state to keep out and have the market regulate. Well, the market is regulating and suddenly he cries about daddy government not intervening.

They’ve got their own problems here in the US but lax government oversight and weak state rules for labor organization hinder their ability to hold tesla liable for the nooses and robots-crushing-employees and molds exploding and other horrors.

It’s also hard to hold Tesla accountable in the public square when they “don’t have a public relations department” and shit like Musk’s poop-emoji replies to the press.
