They still haven't learned that they can't fuck with Sweden's unions. Because the strike is usually not just the employees, but also the other unions who will force their employers to stop doing business with union-busters until they stop. I remember a long time ago how the employees at Sweden's ports were asked where Toys R' Us supplies are and they said "we don't know" but suddenly found them once they stopped trying to bust their union.

Yep. Tesla is currently in the process of fucking around, and the unions are letting them find out as we speak. They are basically no longer able to import cars to Sweden as there's a blockade in every harbor. Soon, cleaning companies will no longer service their facilities.

It will only escalate until they bend the knee.
