Sweden: Tesla employees prepare strike as management says negotiations not in their business model
IF Metall has warned of strike action against car manufacturer Tesla’s repair shops in Sweden as Tesla is refusing to enter into negotiations on a collective agreement.

In the past, Tesla’s owner, Elon Musk, has publicly threatened workers with retaliation if they were to form a union. "Elon Musk’s business model is to avoid respecting human rights. Now he is taken on by one of our strongest unions. We must defeat the Tesla business model, and Sweden is the best place to start."
Given the ease with which Spotify (a Swedish company, albeit with an American management style) shoved aside the unions in Sweden recently, I suspect Tesla will have no trouble doing the same. I hope to be proven wrong here.
Not sure on what happened with spotify, but IF Metal is the biggest union still I think, and isnt refusing to negotiate illigal still?
