"Since the strike began a year ago, other unions have elected to support the Swedish workers. That means the shipping of Tesla cars to Swedish ports has been blocked, the cleaning of Tesla facilities has been halted, postal deliveries for Tesla — including new license plates — to all Tesla offices no longer take place, and connecting new Tesla Supercharger stations to the power grid has been interrupted. Tesla has repeatedly lost legal battles against these solidarity strikes and was recently required to pay SEK6.5m ($607,000) in legal costs to PostNord, the Swedish postal service."

I wish we had that kind of solidarity here in the USA... and that the courts would uphold the right to do so.
