More than 90% of the labor in Sweden is covered by collective agreements. Tesla is breaking unwritten rules and is threatening the Swedish model, this is bound to meet heavy resistance from the Swedish labor in full force.

While the US regulates strikes and minimum wages by law, it is in Sweden regulated by collective agreements. As Tesla is refusing to sign such an agreement in negotiations, they themselves made these strikes inevitable.

If a Swedish company coming to the US tried to change fundamental mechanics of the system there without the support of its citizens there would be a legitimate public outrage and calls for action. Why would Sweden be any different?
