Tesla getting owned by Swedish workers isn’t the story.

The story is that 90% of the Swedish workers belong to a union

And only around 11% of American workers belong to a union

The story is the message

What the Swedes have done by blocking delivery of Teslas will reverberate worldwide with workers showing the power of collective action.

@LiveByReason @flexghost The mechanics are on strike for a few weeks now, but more sympathy-strikes are taking place soon.
Dock-workers are on strike, not unloading Tesla’s, postal workers, cleaning staff and construction-workers will join.The law requires a seven days notice.
