      They always do. Walmart completely running against a wall in Germany is still getting a chuckle out of me.

      And Sweden is two steps above Germany in that refard. So good luck to Tesla to not get stomped. I’d wish the unions luck, but they don’t need it.

        If IF Metall is stronger than the biggest and strongest union in Germany IG Metall, he’s fucked.

      I remember reading once about how James Cameron was all too happy to take millions in tax cuts to film Aliens in England, but then became a little crying bitch when he realized that English unionized workers actually protect their workers. He got mad that they wouldn’t work through lunch or breaks, or work in his insane schedule or whims, or do dangerous work. Made me lose a lot of respect for Cameron.

        I didn’t know this. It’s psychotic to expect everyone to be on the same page as the guy who gets most of the credit, rewards and freedom of expression. Especially if you’re only job is to bring the coffee
