Collective agreement.

Technically it's not even necessary to have one in Sweden, but they'll still have to oblige to what the other companies in the sector agrees on, which is why it's also a good reason for a company to participate and get one in the first place.

Basically, companies that don't have collective agreements are sitting at the children's table at the party. Someone as big as Tesla ought to be mature enough to sit with the grown ups. They have no idea of what they're doing in this context and it will end badly for them if they attempt to ignore it.

Elon could decide to act like a toddler, but it'll also mean that Tesla has to fuck off out of the country.

Cool, TIL, thanks for the breakdown!

The US equivalent would be a Collective Bargaining Agreement - the contract between a union and the employer.

Beyond the explanations given, kollektivavtal is the foundation of what is called the Swedish model that is the custom by which companies and unions function in Sweden.

All bigger companies have kollektivavtal, so what Tesla is doing is extremely strange and foreign to Swedish culture.

OP mentioned it so casually, I just assumed I was dumber than usual today.

I realised shortly after posting it, that it might be something people abroad aren't familiar with. So I've amended my comment to include a short description of what a kollektivavtal, a collective agreement is. It differs depending on your line of work, a programmer like me wouldn't have the same agreement that say, a mine worker in Kiruna would have.

In short though, a kollektivavtal opens up a breadth of fundamental workers rights, like the right to negotiate your salary. A workplace not having one is a gigantic red flag.

I think it means a collective agreement
