ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

it really is as easy as just joining the union en masse and demanding a general agreement, which they have to give you within some months or face a strike. the problem is holding on for the inevitable countermeasures and keeping any waverers in line, but i get the sense that tesla atm has bad enough press that this should be fairly straightforward and in a situation like that the unions are genuinely aggressive about formal fuckups on the part of the business

they are not allowed to do reprisals against people for unionising, and the courts and lawyers are pretty serious about enforcing this. there is inevitably a lot of unofficial and social pressure and the company will trumpet any mistakes you make very loudly while straight-up lying, but so long as you maintain a loyal core of people and are able to strike to shut the shop they really can't win when it comes down to it

I think one of the facts speaking against Tesla winning this is that it's not a huge company, and they are a foreign company in both the real sense and in the views of the public. If I'm checking correctly there's what, 130 employees striking? IF Metall can easily support that without breaking a sweat. It's not like a huge general strike where the size of the war chest becomes an issue. And the only parties supporting Tesla that I've read are the usual suspects (i.e. bougie newspapers and Timbro and similar). So as I see it, the pressure is on Tesla. As long as the strike continues, the strikers are properly supported while Tesla is racking up pissed off customers.

It also helps that Elon Musk seems to personally be the one ordering the negotiations to be halted and he has, well, lost a lot of popularity as a figure the last few years.

i made a couple of stupid tactical errors, and management made a bunch of promises/lies which split the workforce and then bought off some key individuals with personal raises

as it turns out a fair amount of people will just accept outrageous lies when it comes from someone in a position of recognised authority and you have to spend much more time debunking lies than they have to spend making them. the key is to have a core of people you can trust, and there my judgement was not good (also, the whole mess was kicked off before i was ready by one particular flakey guy having a tantrum and then getting bought off)

management will try many tricks to delay, and offer insincere offers of compromise which if you're not well prepared may sound reasonable to a fair amount of your members. in my specific case they also had a no-poo poo spy in our group chats and meetings who was reporting everything to them on the dl. they then made a whole disciplinary process about bullying when i told him to knock it off or i wouldn't hang out with him anymore, which of course was simple harassment (they initially refused to say what the disciplinary case was about).

even with all of this i am pretty confident that, had i known then what i know now about organising and the way this stuff goes, we would've won

How does the Swedish public react? Is it like in Norway where the vast majority is pro-palestinian?

I feel as if the Swedish public* is suddenly interested in antisemitism as a cudgel to stick it to Muslims, like it’s something Muslims brought over and not something that’s been endemic to the country since forever. I’ve heard some next level Protocols-poo poo in Sweden way before October 2023 came to pass, and not from anyone Muslim**. However these sentiments are unfortunately applicable in other places besides Sweden.

However I’ve also been pleasantly surprised that some have a nuanced take on the current situation, which gives me hope. I do think that loving around with freedom of speech and expression will turn into leopards eating faces for some that didn’t expect it.

*whatever that means, this is a horrific generalization on my part

Muslim anti-semitism really took off during the 30s after the Haifa Market Bombing. There were already high tensions after Jewish settlers with a lot of funding from Jewish philanthropists and with the support of the British established colonies that displaced the locals

Edit: not that this excuses anti-semitism that is horrible like any other racism

Funny that no-one is demanding the Jewish community try to ameliorate the problem by distancing themselves from the genocidal apartheid state. Almost like there's a double standard or something.

It's not even being demanded of those who explicitly support Israel. DR ran a story about some random anonymous Jewish guy who got called a slur at the gym as Al-Shifa Hospital was being shelled and even he openly admitted to propagandizing for Israel on Instagram.

I'm not saying it isn't hosed up, according to Halakha I'm Jewish myself and my grandmother fled here for the same reason, I'm saying it's a very apparent double standard.

Yeah, but mail being sent is considered samhällsviktiga iirc, so yes there may be footing but the fact that it’s being referred to as discrimination seems loving odd.

Also forcing the state to waste taxpayer money on this dribble is definitely going to endear Tesla. Won’t piss anyone off further!

Is it a hot take to say that legally disallowing "samhällsviktiga" industries from striking is a big giant load of bullshit?

Used to be that postal workers in Denmark were “tjenestemænd”, and had no right to strike, but were very hard to fire/dismiss.

The reason was mail was “samfundskritisk”

It's already a thing though.

For example nurses are not legally allowed to strike which is why their working conditions are completely hosed and why something like 30-35% of them currently work outside of their profession.
It's been decided that we're allowed to exploit them.
