  It’s possible competition will just recognize their advantage and pay workers more to get that step ahead.

    Polestar is Chinese.

      Sort of. The parent company is Chinese, but you don’t see the Swedish unions having massive strikes with Volvo or Polestar workers and they are headquartered there.

        Maybe the reason why the Swedish unions aren’t having massive strikes with Polestar workers might be slightly related to the fact that the are no Swedish workers in Polestar?

        It is headquartered in Torslanda outside Gothenburg, Sweden. Its vehicles are produced in China, home to Volvo’s corporate parent Geely.

      But Polestar has signed collective agreements in Sweden.

        Signing a collective agreement doesn’t in any way change the fact that Polestar is a Chinese company that manufactures their product in China and that China is not pro union.
