There are three battles never to fight:
Three days later, on November 20, the Seko union, which represents postal workers, will stop delivering letters, spare parts, and pallets to all of Tesla’s addresses in Sweden. “Tesla is trying to gain competitive advantages by giving the workers worse wages and conditions than they would have with a collective agreement,” said Seko’s union president, Gabriella Lavecchia, in a statement. “It is of course completely unacceptable.”
Interesting that it is legal to withhold mail. In many countries that would be a crime.
There are many ways to legally do this. They may just adhere to regulations more strictly. Where before they would bend the rules to help out.
They might just schedule Tesla’s mail for the end of the day and be extra “careful” that day. Oops, there wasn’t enough time to deliver their mail! Maybe after a few days of a customer’s mail building up, there’s a rule saying the customer has to come in and get it themselves. Following all the rules exactly will fuck up any system because they are rarely created with overall productivity in mind.
Probably pretty hard to punish your entire work force. Next they could start boycotting you for punishing them. Or maybe their tariff contract may also cover this as legal strike action.
I wonder if the difference is in refusing to deliver, but allowing pickup
Worker solidarity is lovely to see. Good luck Sweden!
Thank you! We will strangle them out!
As a Dane I’m bloody embarrassed if Danish unionised workers are unloading the cars there. They should bloody strike with their Nordic brothers and sisters.
Hoe does Tesla treat their workers and wages in Denmark? Are they bellow par?
Waiting for the “damn commies” comments.
If The Swedes are commies then just call me Comradesson!
Kamratsson in Swedish.
Fun fact: In Sweden it is common use the phrase “Work comrade” (arbetskamrat) to refer to your colleagues.
Dude what the actual fuck are you saying, almost the entirety of lemmys user base is extremely left and pro communism and socialism. In fact, certain parts are so communist, they got defederated. And you’ll see what people call “tankies” everywhere. Lemmy is the epitome of leftist thinking and ideals. What a silly comment to make, here, of all places. It would make sense on twitter
Why do you think it’s so radically left wing/communist here? IDK if you’ve ever seen GAB, but it feels like that for liberals.
Proud to be a member of the Swedish metalworkers union!
Good
Please let it spread
