There are many ways to legally do this. They may just adhere to regulations more strictly. Where before they would bend the rules to help out.

They might just schedule Tesla's mail for the end of the day and be extra "careful" that day. Oops, there wasn't enough time to deliver their mail! Maybe after a few days of a customer's mail building up, there's a rule saying the customer has to come in and get it themselves. Following all the rules exactly will fuck up any system because they are rarely created with overall productivity in mind.

Probably pretty hard to punish your entire work force. Next they could start boycotting you for punishing them. Or maybe their tariff contract may also cover this as legal strike action.

I wonder if the difference is in refusing to deliver, but allowing pickup

They don't withhold, they just don't deliver.

Maybe Tesla even can send their employee to pick up letters and stuff. Right, nobody want to work at Tesla. Well, tough luck.

How does Tesla treat their workers and wages in Denmark? Are they bellow par?

Thank you! We will strangle them out!

Black metal or death metal workers? 🤘🤘

It didn't sign a deal with the unions and tried to strongarm its way through it

Reading the article, it seems they do not have basic minimum wages set federally and collective agreements are the basis in all workplaces.

I have to wonder if Tesla will just find other ways to get the product into the country instead. Unconfirmed local reports say that the cars are being unloaded in Danish ports then driven into Sweden.

Toys are Us refused to sign a collective agreement in the mid 90s but was convinced to sign after similar strike actions.

So it seems Sweden might still have a strong union environment and will be able to affect public sentiment about Tesla in the long term as they even mention people refusing services from Tesla based taxis.

Not legal, unfortunately.

The Taft–Hartley Act amended the 1935 National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), adding new restrictions on union actions and designating new union-specific unfair labor practices. Among the practices prohibited by the Taft–Hartley act are jurisdictional strikes, wildcat strikes, solidarity or political strikes, secondary boycotts, secondary and mass picketing, closed shops, and monetary donations by unions to federal political campaigns.

Isn't unionizing a crime in some states or somesuch?

And yes, there are very few things most people aren't able to get elsewhere from another company. It's only a bit inconvenient at first, when you have to spend some time finding better alternatives but once you've done that it's just as easy as before and you feel good about your choices.

If The Swedes are commies then just call me Comradesson!

Dude what the actual fuck are you saying, almost the entirety of lemmys user base is extremely left and pro communism and socialism. In fact, certain parts are so communist, they got defederated. And you'll see what people call "tankies" everywhere. Lemmy is the epitome of leftist thinking and ideals. What a silly comment to make, here, of all places. It would make sense on twitter

Edit: this comment would be legit on Facebook too

Just the ones in the warehouses. Unions don't get mad at the public. They get mad at shitty, oppressive, conservative employers.

It's Sweden, not France

Oh, you mean a mass movement of anarcho-communist activism would slash the tires of private cars?

No.

It's even wilder. This is just normal people having a union.

Well, I guess I have two thoughts on that. For one, what you're probably thinking of is seen as basically qanon freaks. The other is that of course there's a political right, and of course there is a social conservative current.

The right has traditionally been a coalition of liberals and conservatives, but the Christian conservatives are actually Christian. (They command a certain degree of respect, even though I don't agree)

As for the social conservatives, they're to a large degree absorbed by either the traditional social democrats (or "total autocrats" as I like to call them) or the nazis.

The WHAT?

Yes. The left was so busy suppressing racism (real) that they made it basically impossible to have adult conversation about the problems inherent in eliminating low-education jobs and, at the same time, accepting a lot of illiterate refugees. And as the reality of taking from the middle class boomers (who strongly identify as working class) to fund the result, the nazis were there, and they're scary huge now.

Idk, there's a lot to unpack and explain here, and I'm sure others have other angles, so I'll leave it at that.
