Starting Friday, dockworkers in all Swedish ports will refuse to offload Teslas, cleaning crews will no longer clean showrooms, and mechanics won’t fix charging points as the labor dispute rages on.
For people like me know didn’t know what kollektivavtal means:
A collective agreement, collective labour agreement (CLA) or collective bargaining agreement (CBA) is a written contract negotiated through collective bargaining for employees by one or more trade unions with the management of a company (or with an employers’ association) that regulates the terms and conditions of employees at work. This includes regulating the wages, benefits, and duties of the employees and the duties and responsibilities of the employer or employers and often includes rules for a dispute resolution process.
And clauses for the right to negotiating your salary. There’s no law in Sweden mandating that employers give employees yearly raises, or even the right to ask for one. We have no legally mandated minimum wage either.
The market is set by negotiation between labour unions and employers/their representatives. For Tesla to go all “eh, fuck that shit” is to essentially ignore the entire dynamic of the Swedish labour market.
