    You have to understand that TSLA shareholders a very vocal part of this community. If you look at the post history of the anti-union commentators, there is almost always some connection to other Tesla shareholding communities.

    These people aren’t anti-union because they have deeply held ideological beliefs regarding socioeconomics; they are people with a clear and direct motivation to support Tesla’s profit margin by supporting whatever position is most convenient at the time. There is no separating their belief system from that of the business itself.

      Its roughly the same on the other side. Its usually an anti-corporation, anti-1%, anti-Tesla or Musk in this case cheering for the Union.

      Even the post you responded to; there is a lot of things being said that are just projections of that person’s understanding of what a Union is and what is being faught for.

      I dont think anyone can argue against good outcomes for the workers; and so far, I’m not convinced that is the driving motivation of the this particular Union. If instead, their motivations are to perserve the strength of the Union so that the leadership holds on to power and influence, then thats not a good outcome for the worker.

      I’m Tesla shareholder and I would fully support Tesla signing CBA. Less profit is better than no profit if they decide to leave Sweden. It is already more costly to implement workarounds for all the blockades than to sign CBA for 130 people. Shareholders certainly should prefer Tesla to make most profit possible and currently that would be by signing CBA.

      I think this whole episode has made clear if it wasn’t already that the majority of EV buyers and enthusiasts, being upper income people, are remarkably anti-union.

      American EV buyers.

        I mean that’s the case with Sweden too. Tesla is the most popular EV - by far - in Sweden, so clearly its consumers don’t care about unions either and hence the “boot wearers” term.
