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…

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

SkyeStarfall ,

Elon fucked up so bad he’s gonna singlehandedly revive the international worker movement.

Thank you, comrade Elon!

    This isn’t just people standing up for themselves. This is governments protecting people.

    Guess who are governments

    That’s not how the us works

    I think you missed 4th word in headline

    Cheers ,

    No I didn’t. I’m praising governments willing to stand of for their people. I’m responding to someone else that said the government works for the people and I said that’s not how the US works. Governments don’t always work for the people, sometimes they bend the knee for corporations.

    I wanted to say that governmemts in Sweden and Denmark are made of people too. But yeah, I agree with you then.

    Meanwhile the swedish gpvernment is moving to make sympathy strikes where workers in other companies won’t work with tesla (deliver packages and similar) illegal…

    @uis@lemmy.world avatar

    Fuck!

    gravitas_deficiency ,

    It would be quite unfortunate if the sympathetically striking workers all “got sick” at the same time the Swedish government told them their strike was “illegal”, wouldn’t it?

    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.
