Not true that they have higher wages. They lack injusry insurance, pension funds and have lower salaries thatn average worker in the same industry.


Are you really adovacting that a foreign CEo should rule the local laws.

Their country, threir rules or he can leave.

I am stronly pro unions as in Sweden, beacuse I worked there, and have seen it. They are not like the US unions. Around 70% of people in Sweden are members of unions for $15/month.

Sweden Tesla worker salary is 4k/month, with full health insurance, free kindergarten, free school, free college. In case they get ill, workers get 2 years of 80% salary, and rehabilitation.

While you have at will contrracts in the US, unions in Sweden have ensured 3 months notice. Unions also negotiate minumum annual raise and gives you annual raise at least equal to inflation.

Unemployment insurance is handled by unions, you must be a member - 1 year of 80% salary and additional year. If needed, new training is obtained for free.

Without a union agreement, Musk workers are slaves.

No serious brand operates without unions.

Yep, all of this are how things are, assuming your workplace plays by the social contract and signs the collective agreement. You can sign up for the unemployment insurance without being a union member too.

Did you reply to the wrong comment? This doesn't answer anything about the average the OP asked about.


Tesla workers in Sweden are paid less than an average in same industry in Sweden. No retirement funds. No injury insurance.

Sweden does not opearate llike that.


Again, he was talking about the injury rate -- not average salary or compensation.


Slaves?


yes, more or less slavery. modern slavery looks like that. underpaid. no rights. no pensions. no injury insurance. no right to. sounds like an average american factory worker. swedes don't want that.

educate yourself. there are 50 million people living in modern slavery today. and yes they are white too. however, the largest slaveholder in the world in India.
