Tesla has ended Sweden's historic 1,021-day labor strike without signing a collective agreement, outlasting the union by systematically buying out every striking technician on the picket line.

If the workers got a payout to break ranks then I see this as a victory by the union as the workers got more than they had.

whats the point of trade union for something you dont even own.
unless these swedish mechanics were building/fixing teslas from the molecular level.
they're just servants of tesla.
they have the option of not working for tesla and starting their own car company.

I hope this is the beginning of the end for trade unions dictatorship in Sweden, Scandinavia and eventually - whole Europe. They should be banned for market/economy distortion, accelerating inflation, etc.

This is so funny.
Union leadership has to be pissed off because they received nothing.
