On: Swedish painters trade union to stop all work with...

[bjornsing]

There is nothing illegal about operating without a collective labour agreement in Sweden. For example, I’m born in Sweden and have worked here for 20+ years and I don’t think I’ve ever had an employer with a collective labor agreement. Among tech startups and smaller companies it’s quite rare, and when I’ve worked for larger companies I’ve incorporated and contracted, largely to get away from the negative effects of unions and job security: absurdly low pay.

I didn't mean to suggest it was. The article/union didn't either, and I was just commenting on their position.

That said... Unions are prevalent in sectors. My point is that Tesla knew this was coming. They are not a social media startup.

Premising an investment on "bugger that" is childish. Plan for it however you want, but leaving it out of the plan is silly.

Does Tesla have a chance/way of operating in Sweden without collective bargaining?

Sure it does. It just has to survive the “sympathy actions” from many of the other unions. As I understand it many of the actual Tesla employees refuse to go on strike.
