Strike at carmaker prompts sympathy action from dockers, painters and postal workers in fight over Swedish labour model
Elon Musk has decried a wave of “insane” strikes focused on Tesla workshops in Sweden, as workers target the US electric car manufacturer in a strike calling for collective bargaining rights.
In what has been portrayed as the largest fight in decades to save Sweden’s union model from global labour practices, the powerful trade union IF Metall has been leading a strike across eight Tesla workplaces in Sweden for five weeks.
It is the first time workers for the US carmaker have gone on strike and on Thursday, Musk, the tech billionaire and chief executive of Tesla, made his feelings clear, writing on X, formerly Twitter: “This is insane.”

Waiting for Noway and Denmark to join in and make it even more insane
I know there are Tesla Factories in Norway, but I don't think there are any in Denmark. I'm Danish, but I could be wrong.
It's more about the sympathy striking. If danish post clerks did not deliver letters to Tesla's offices or like in Sweden, they won't make number plates or unload them from the ships
Given the recent Dutch election I suspect trade unions may not be participating...
What does the Dutch election have to do with unions in Sweden, Noway and Denmark?
