The conflict between Swedish unions and Tesla heated up on Friday as a supplier of critical components joined in a sympathy action to get the electric car maker to sign a collective bargaining agreement for its Swedish workers.
No company starts out with a CBA, it gets done later, and when enough members of the union want a CBA the union and the company in question will negotiate one. This is standard practice here for companies. And om not speaking of places with like one or two employees. Enough members have now asked for a CBA and IF Metall have tried for years to get one done.
How many Tesla Sweden employees, by %, have asked for a union? I ask because others here, who,are seemingly in favor of the idea, have stated that it doesn’t’t take a minimum number of employees. I.e., there’s conflicting opinions on that from people,who support the effort.
The only reason there is conflicting opinions is that it is illegal to try to list who is in the union and who is on strike. This makes it really easy for Tesla to spread misinformation while the union really doesn’t give a shit. They know nothing will change from how the internet views this.

It doesn’t. It wouldn’t matter if it was 1% of employees or 99%, if any number of union members working at Tesla asked the Union for help to negotiate the CBA then the Union would have to step in and try to open negotiations. And that is what has happened.

Tesla will not win this fight.
