The power struggle between the union IF Metall and Tesla Motor Sweden AB (TM) has been going on since October 2023. The basis for this conflict is that TM does not want to sign a collective agreement with IF Metall.
It is voluntary for companies to sign collective agreements. However, an employee organization can take industrial action to obtain a collective agreement, which is why voluntariness is not always real. If there is no collective agreement, it does not apply to any working conditions. Then the rules of the law apply instead.
Since October 2023, several other unions, both national and international, have joined IF Metall and taken sympathetic measures towards TM in various ways to make it more difficult for TM to conduct business in Sweden.
Now it turns out that one of the unions, Unionen, which is on sympathy strike with IF Metall against TM, does not itself have a collective agreement for its members.
The hypocrisy is monumental.
