The relevant workers are mostly not in power in this case. It's not like the workers at Tesla are upset enough at their working conditions that they voted to strike. Some minority of the tesla workers are in the union and that union decided they should then have power over all the workers, regardless of what they want.

The union does this from time to time, sometimes driving the company out of business in the process, making all the actually relevant workers lose their job.

Unions are great when they actually care for the people they organise, but the union in sweden will happily sacrifice you and your job to make a symbolic point

So one third opted to get full pay to do nothing and two thirds opted to not strike? Not a lot of support for the union...

It's a bit of an overreach from the unions. They're doing a very weird kind of "strike" where they disallow postal workers to serve Tesla as a customer. So the postal workers are still at their job, getting paid, but just not doing a tiny bit of their job.

If they want to strike, they should stop work entirely. If they don't strike, people should do their job. Otherwise you pretty much give the union mob-like power to deny any service to anyone they don't like, for free.

Important context here is that the actual employees of Tesla aren't on strike or fighting to join the union. It's the union trying a hostile takeover on their own initiative
