Come to Europe and fuck with unions, great idea, Musk.
His dumb ass will escalate and get in trouble with IG Metall, I can already see it...
Would be a huge blunder. Europe has one of the highest rates of EV uptake last time I checked
Eh, Elon is so deluded by arrogance that he might do it out of spite
Yet he bends over backwards for papa Xi
Sweden doesnβt have a hard man authoritarian in charge to project daddy issues onto.
I am afraid that he already bought some politicians. Did you see how he was welcomed by French government?
That's the nice thing about unions, they don't care what politicians say ;)
That doesn't affect most workers in unions, and can also be protested... by striking.
In Denmark if a political decision is taken that is against the union, the union can start a counter strike against them. Have happened before and it set the country on breake.
I know that but the gouvernement could passes law and unions couldn't do nothing about it (that's what happen when a gouvernement uses force instead of dialogue). In the recent years the French gouvernement passed many laws that weakened employees rights. Do you know that if you go into court against your employer and you win, you will just get few hundred euros? It won't ever cover for lawyer expenses. That's because a law was to max the amount you can and it is very low.
Yes I know but the French gouvernement passed many laws not in favor of employees. There were strikes for months but the gouvernement didn't listen and police was beating people.
Now an employer can fire you because of race / sexual orientation... Etc. You can win if you went into trial but the employer may pay just few hundreds euros because there is a limit that caps how much the employer will pay.
Unions couldn't do anything about it? Sure... π
