Tesla Sweden: plans to build and open Supercharger stations on hold after unions refuse to connect them to power grid

someguy3 , 1 month ago

Tesla Sweden is seemingly facing its toughest challenge yet in its ongoing conflict with trade union IF Metall. As per recent reports, sympathy strikes from the Swedish Union for Service and Communications Employees (Seko) and the Electricians Union have successfully put a stop to Tesla Sweden’s expansion of its Supercharger Network.

Look at that. All it takes to stop Musky boi is a union saying no.

Like that crazy guy that was smashing them with a hammer, I think a lot of people want climate change to happen.

They would have been installed if Musk wasn’t a union busting shithead. Sounds like he’s okay with climate change if the alternative is ‘number go up slightly less.’ 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, that’s not what this is about at all. This is about Tesla being run by a fascist dipshit who couldn’t direct his way out of a wet paper bag.

Maybe Tesla should negotiate with IF Metall. Additionally, maybe we shouldn't expect to produce our way out of a problem created by overproduction.

If you think electric cars are the sole solution to climate change you're in for a big surprise.

Anyone that thinks we can transition away from oil without electric cars is utterly delusional, of course they're not the sole solution but they're one of the most vital parts of every single actionable plan that experts have devised.

This is not about electric cars.

Sweden has no minimum wage, but has very strong unions that make sure people get paid enough. Musk is refusing to deal with those unions, like any other employer there does and is mad they respond.

So the unions only look for themselves and didn't fight to protect all workers? Sounds like Sweden has kinda right-wing unions, I hope a true left wing voice can talk above the unions selfish ways and implement protections for all.
