I’ve written this in other threads so it will just be a repetition for a lot of you who are following how the story unfolds.
Here in Sweden we don’t have any laws defining “minimum wage” and some laws regulating things like minimum amount of vacation days can be “replaced” in an agreement.
Now, the idea is that the parties of the labour market, employers and employees should deal with these issues because
politicians should stay the f*** away from things they know nothing about.
The agreement is normally renegotiated by the employer organisations (yes, the employers are also organized here) and employee organisations (unions) every 2-3 years.
While signing an collective agreement is not mandatory it is still expected.
It’s the norm.
In my experience employers refuse to agree on collective minimums is because they want to be able to do whatever they want with their employees.
Tesla/Musk really went for the “I have the right to not use collective bargaining” and is really shocked to find out people went for “we have the right to strike”.

To add to this, all of this is possible because we have great social security, healthcare and other things are NOT associated with your job.

I will not be blackmailed by the collective! Fuck You! Earth will remember this!
