I saw this and laughed.
Bring it you dumb shit. See what happens.
Good fucking luck. Being a strikebreaker is among the most dishonorable things you can be in Sweden.
I’m in the US, and if someone I knew was a “strikebreaker” I’d be absolutely disgusted and I’d make that known to them.
In Denmark the term is a derogative.
To be fair, the English “scab” is also derogatory.
oh yeah … silly me, I forgot about that word. I guess I wanted to tell people how much we care about unions in Denmark, and then forgot that my example really wasn’t that great.
Tesla opens factory in space, everyone suffocates, Tesla argue “well we don’t need to provide oxygen in other places”…
Chuds.
Lieutenant Valeris : 400 years ago on the planet Earth, workers who felt their livelihood threatened by automation flung their wooden shoes called sabots into the machines to stop them. Hence the word “sabotage.”
Do it fash. I fucking dare you.
Our “strikebreakers” will just wreck Tesla’s factories like they did Kellogg’s.
That is awesome!
How to get your factory burned to the ground 101
Good. The whole point of a union is to band together and work towards better conditions for all their members.
“But we don’t sign those anywhere else!” is not a good argument by Tesla
They are finding the difference between a global corporation vs a multi-national corporation.
It is a great argument. It shows that there is no point negotiating with them civilally. The only language they understand is force. So the strike needs to be maintained until Tesla ist forced to either agree to the Union contract or give up their factory.
Fucking pull up Musky-Boi!
Fighting the Unions in Sweden. Good fucking luck, better prepare to pack your bags and leave.
The Nordic countries make up five of the top six most unionized countries, with Sweden being in 3rd place.
Good luck beating them, Tesla! You’re gonna need it.
As the articles says
Around 90 percent of employees in Sweden are covered by a collective bargaining agreement
And while Tesla doesn’t have to fight 90 percent of all employess yet. If they’re bringing in strikebreakers all unions must act to not let a prescedence happen.
Not only their own employees would strike, but also employees of suppliers and everything that is connected to Tesla so nothing will reach the company unless Elon personally swings into a truck and drives the stuff into his factories.
I don’t know about Sweden but bringing in scabs is generally illegal in Germany. That is, you can’t bring in temporaries, you can, of course, hire more people but then you’ll have to keep them, and of course they can strike.
Amazon was quite successful keeping unions out here because the kind of people they employ aren’t terribly union-affine, also, noone wants to stay at amazon anyway, but Tesla? A car manufacturer up against IG Metall? In East Germany? Tesla can either cave, leave, or get beaten into submission.
Not the first time an American company has tried this :) https://www.nytimes.com/1995/08/06/nyregion/in-brief-toys-r-us-settles-labor-dispute-that-made-headlines-in-sweden.html
The company is refusing to sign one, IF Metall has reported, saying that company claims that it doesn’t sign collective bargaining agreements anywhere in the world.
Well then you fucking should.
Then don’t do work in Sweden, simple as that.
Good luck with that
Tesla seems to be about to learn some hard lessons about workers rights in various EU countries. lol
They aren’t the first and they won’t be the last to learn. Another hilarious example was Walmart trying to get into the german market.
Meanwhile Aldi & Lidl are spreading through the US.
Fuck Tesla
Dear vikings, please rip them a new one.
