Tesla is hiring a Nordic public policy expert as the U.S. electric vehicle giant's bitter dispute with labor unions across the region shows no sign of reaching a resolution.
They did not and it is fucking hilarious. One instance is their spokesperson admits to a jounalist they have no clue at all what is legal and what is not when it comes to getting scabs. Which they 100% tried to get. “But we are only getting swedish scabs, not foreign scabs! Oh, not allowed? Really? Ehhhh…”. Then a letter gets leaked by one of Teslas lobbyists trying to suck up to the minister of labour market (thats a literal translation, not sure what its called in english), and its all like “I dare wish for a short audience with you sire”, basically. Cringe stuff. The minister of labour markets is the party leader of the liberal party, and has the backbone of a bacteria, celebrates working with the far right now because that gives him a minister post. Weakest liberal in the world, and he fucking ignores the letter. Hahahha

It’s perfectly legal to hire scabs in Sweden BTW. Frowned upon, but legal.
Any source? I want to read more.
