Thousands of Swedish workers are rallying behind 120 Tesla mechanics. The workers are boycotting Teslas until the company signs a contract. Even postal workers may stop delivering mail.

    I’m not wondering that, I’m cheering you on. I’m wondering why we don’t do his ourselves. Safety in numbers, use the collective empathy to motivate that which has no empathy. I love it.

      It’s illegal for you to sympathy strike and you don’t have sector bargaining. The fact that I’ve never talked to an American who knows this and that a hundred year old law is what’s stopping most of your progress is always sad to me. :/

      We don’t do this ourselves because, even at fairly high income levels, we’re all living a lot closer to paycheck-to-paycheck than we’d all like, and our ability to get healthcare and afford food and housing is tied quite directly to our jobs, and we have nearly no real social safety nets or real worker protections to speak of compared to Europe.
