The Swedes better watch out! Those spoiled Swedish workers are pissing off anti-union Elon Musk!
LondonCNN —
It has taken nearly a month, but workers striking against Tesla in Sweden have finally drawn a response from the company’s famously anti-union boss. “This is insane,” CEO Elon Musk said Thursday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter that he owns.
Musk was responding to news that Swedish postal workers are refusing to deliver Tesla license plates, joining a wave of action in sympathy with mechanics who stopped servicing Tesla cars late last month.
About 130 mechanics began their ongoing strike in October after their employer, a Tesla subsidiary in Sweden, announced that it would not recognize their labor union, according to Expressen, a CNN affiliate.
The industrial action soon spread to dockworkers who started blocking deliveries of Tesla cars at the country’s ports, to electricians who stopped maintenance work for the carmaker, and other workers in Sweden, Expressen reported.
Amazing! According to CNN, nine out of ten workers are unionized in Sweden. And it appears those other union workers are not fans of the X King and his anti-union ways.
What will Musk do in retaliation? Close out X for Swedes? LOL.
