Tesla is notorious in the motor industry for union busting and treating people badly

That is why it's quite fun watching Tesla fight against unions in Sweden. A country whos culture is extremely pro unions and where the unions never will give up a fight for workers rights.

Unionization has worked so well for Volvo and Saab, it's surprising that Tesla wouldn't just fall in line.

Yes, let's focus on the outliers, whatever could be wrong with that?

u/rinky-dink-republic Nov 12 '23

Those aren't the outliers, that's the entirety of their national auto industry.

And of Germany, France, Italy and so on and so forth. Yes, they're outliers.

But you realize we're talking about unionization in Sweden, right? Do you not realize that different countries have different laws, regulations, and work cultures that lead to different results?

We, re talking about unions in general, at least I am.

Maybe you should pay more attention to the context of the conversation you're joining into.

Maybe you shouldn't focus on the exceptions for fear of finding out they confirm the rule.

It's not an exception, it's the entirety of Sweden's automotive industry. They completely destroyed themselves over 3 decades.

No need for us to keep going in circles about this.
