Totally believable. They’re not at all underreporting workplace injuries. Oh wait, except they also got investigated by the state of California for that too:

Tesla's the biggest target for many journalists, the records are available via FOIA requests, and it's an obvious follow-up given the earlier stories. Tesla makes their workplace safety statements in annual reports, so proving a falsification of those reports is securities fraud and a big deal.

So if Tesla is lying, look it up via FOIA, file a whistleblower report with the SEC and cash in.

Didn’t that actually happen

Two articles that are 3 and 5 years old about an investigation? That's your evidence? Sounds like it went nowhere because if it did you would have posted that.

They’re currently under investigation in Germany for high levels of workplace injuries as well, so their disregard for safety has gone international!

Translation: "The great thing is, no matter what they do, I'll find a way to condemn them for it."

Below the US average or below the Swedish average?

Around 70% of people in Sweden are members of Unions for $15/month.

Sweden salary is 4k/month, with full health insurance, free school for the kids, free college. In case they get ill, workers get 2 years of 80% salary.

While you have at will contrracts in the US, unions in Sweden have ensured 3 months notice. Unions also negotiate minumum annual raise and gives you annual raise at least equal to inflation.

Unemployment insurance is handled by unions, you must be a member - 1 year of 80% salary and additional year. If needed, new training is obtained for free.

Without a union agreement, Musk workers are slaves.

No serious brand operates without unions.

Slaves?

yes, more or less slavery. modern slavery looks like that. underpaid. no rights. no pensions. no injury insurance. no right to. sounds like an average american factory worker. swedes don't want that.

educate yourself. there are 50 million people living in modern slavery today. and yes they are white too. however, the largest slaveholder in the world in India.

Did you reply to the wrong comment? This doesn't answer anything about the average the OP asked about.

Tesla workers in Sweden are paid less than an average in same industry in Sweden. No retirement funds. No injury insurance.

Sweden does not opearate llike that.

Again, he was talking about the injury rate -- not average salary or compensation.

I tried for a while but I could not find an apples-to-apples comparison of tesla fremont factory, sweden autoworkers, us autoworkers.
