    Musk said last week: “I disagree with the idea of unions. I just don’t like anything which creates a lords-and-peasants kind of thing.”

    What a colossal twat.

          You’re definitely not! But you do have backup from Danish unions. Solidarity is how we’ll bring down this… I lack words to describe him, the Danish term would be “selvfed”, meaning that you consider yourself cooler than anyone else does. I asked Google to translate, and it came back with “smug”, which doesn’t really cover it. Then I asked Google to describe Musk in one word, and it came back with a post from LinkedIn that pretty much used the antonyms for what I was trying to find, namely “genius, futurist, innovator, and entrepreneur”

          Fuck that MuskyBoi and his feudal aspirations.

            Yeah as you probably could see I was trying to get multiple Scandinavian laughs in one.

    Tesla is expected to appeal the decision though. This was just the first court. We have 3, the last being the supreme Court.

      Musk “picked” the wrong fighting grounds here. I’m pretty sure he will lose even at the supreme court eventually. And each day this drags on is a win for the unions

        That’s why strikes work. If you’re not paid enough, not going to work barely loses you anything. If a workplace is shut down the company loses thousands per day. They still pay rent but earn no money.

        Strikes usually end quickly if the company is focused on money. It’s cheaper to pay workers a raise they originally deserved so they feel like they won, than stay closed.

        Nah, if Tesla had won here Postnord doesn’t have to follow if they plan on bringing it to higher court. Granted they may not have wanted that but hypothetically.
