Tesla has filed a lawsuit against the Swedish government's Transport Agency over a workers' strike that has blocked the U.S. auto maker's requests for license plates for new vehicles, business daily Dagens Industri reported on Monday.
Ill admit I misremembered - its just 3x as many incidents. Still not good, especially as these are only the ones they had to report, where people died or were unable to work for more than three days. And while these numbers are for the german factory, the environment is the same. Same company, same lack of unionisation, same structure. So if the numbers are different, its not cause Tesla is a better place to work at in Sweden.
The latter part of your question is weird though - I said theres more environmental incidents, which may have an effect on worker health. That was conjecture on my part and a reason why more protection (ie via unionisation) is important. If theres a leak in a tank full of paint, its an environmental hazard and a health hazard, even if workers arent immediately unable to work. Fumes arent great for lungs, liver, kidneys…
And thats just one example of what could go wrong…
