Why unionized incumbent could not automate? Do you think that cars in European plants are made by hand from start to finish?
It is up to the individual.
And even on a individual level you can join a strike if the union wants it, and again Tesla can not do anything about it. Strong labour laws in Sweden.
What the union is trying to do here is make Tesla the company to sign a collective labour agreement.
These agreements are voluntary, and you can ask ChatGPT what all benefits/drawbacks are with them. In any case Tesla doesn't want it but let the it be an individual decision.
Well, by law voluntary, but the unions will force it.
