      Don’t fuck with Scandinavian worker rights. They WILL be protected and they DO have the power to eject a whole major corporation right out the country.

    Take note US. This is how we handle shitty practices in scandinavia.

    Imagine if someone tried to implement tipping culture here.

      Unfortunately the US government already took note ages ago. Cross-Industry and general strikes are illegal in the USA… This kinda thing can’t happen here.

        Illegal actions can happen, and usually that’s how it started in countries with laws that protect workers.

        The government didn’t nicely hand them over, workers had to fight for them.

    If they want the CEO to listen, maybe they should tweet about it -I mean maybe they should X about it.

    Klarna tried to fight a unionization effort recently in every way they could, but at the end of the day they decided to bend the knee instead of dealing with the planned strike.

    Things are going to work out similarly for Tesla if they want to stay in the country.
