Translation for the 99% who don't happen to speak Swedish:
> Strike escalated on Monday - "Tesla has brought people here"
> Unknown people in workshop clothes reportedly arrived by taxi on Monday morning at several Tesla workshops, according to picketers around the country.
> - "There are strikebreakers working inside the premises right now," says Carola Andersson, chair of IF Metall in Umeå.
> Around eight o'clock on Monday morning, a taxi arrived at the Tesla car workshop in Umeå, where almost all workers went on strike on Friday. Picketers from the trade union IF Metall noticed four people, dressed in workshop clothes, getting out of the car and entering the workshop.
> - We have at least five strikebreakers here who have come from somewhere else. They are completely new guys who have not been here before. They work with Tesla clothes on inside the workshop. Extensive strikebreaking," he says.
> - "We discovered that overtime was planned for the weekend, so we had picketers there on Saturday and were then told that there was also work on Sunday. We can't know one hundred percent that it was workshop work, but I saw with my own eyes that cars were being driven out of the service doors," says Karl-Henrik Rosberg, IF Metall's ombudsman in Gothenburg.
IF Metall is one of the largest trade unions in Sweden, and the union involved with Tesla right now.
Isn't this just the norm though? Most companies seem to do this to keep things ticking over whilst strike action is ongoing, is strikebreaking illegal in Sweden?
