Elon musk behaves like a narcissist, so he could threaten to withdraw Tesla from all 4 Nordic countries, just because he is butthurt.
If that should happen, I'm personally OK with that too. We don't want foreign companies that threaten our right to unionize.
There are plenty of other EV options now too so no need for Tesla if they don't want to be fair to their workers.
And nothing of value is lost. Good riddance.
Thousands of Teslas may become unrepairable e-waste though.
Become?
*EU RtR intensifies*
Wait, what if Tesla is completely pushed out of EU?
*Ukrainian hackers noises*
There's no reason yet to leave all 4. All they need to do is leave Sweden and this ends.
I'm not sure what the situation is like in the other countries in terms of CBAs, but they haven't gone on strike internally for lack of agreement. It's only sympathy strikes elsewhere right now.
God speed my Scandinavian brothers and sisters
How bad did Tesla fuck this up? Enough for us noggies to join the side of swedes AND danes. I hope to see the finns join in too.
Elon fucked up so bad he's gonna singlehandedly revive the international worker movement.
Thank you, comrade Elon!

The Norwegian union Fagforeningen has stated that if the Swedish Union did not get to av strekene before the 20th, they'll go into sympathy strike! Here we fucking go!!! Do not fuck with Scandinavians or their labour market - they'll double fuck you right back!
Very important that Norway gets in on this as well since they were very early and massive adopters of Tesla cars. That one will really chap Elon's ass.
This is what democracy looks like.
Hums the Internationale while reading the article.

Shit, I’m a center leaning libtard and I want the unions to succeed. Nothing would please me than seeing Musk brought to heel by workers everywhere.
God damn am I jealous of Scandinavian unions.
I may not live in Sweden or Denmark, but I am happy people improving their and each other's lives instead of screwing over each other. Faust bless you.
I'd love to see it the Americans follow up once Tesla has unionised in Europe.
I'd also love to see what Tesla would've done without a stubborn idiot as CEO. Maybe it's time for the shareholders to take another look at the supermajority voting that Musk is abusing to run the company down.
Workers of the world unite!
Elon Musk has one word for unions — “No!” He told the New York Times last week, “I disagree with the idea of unions. I just don’t like anything which creates kind of a lords and peasants sort of thing. I think the unions naturally try to create negativity in a company.”
I just... I really don't know how to even respond to that... Beyond laughing at how ridiculous that statement is...
