Manufacturers are leaving Sweden. They produce fewer cars now than they did 50 years ago.
The range of negotiated outcomes that would be attractive to manufacturers would all involve pay cuts.
There’s no point engaging in negotiations unless the union can first accept that.

It's not like it is a fact of life that is outside of the unions control either. If they wanted the work, they could let people work on Tesla vehicles. If they don't need the work, then there isn't any reason to do so.

But you can also choose where you want to go and that sounds like what Tesla is doing. They aren't forcing Swedish unions to do anything that Swedish unions don't want to do. And Swedish unions aren't making Telsa do something they don't want to do. Sounds like a win win for everyone.
It is not like this is a fact of life which is outside of tesla's control. All they need to do is agree on a collective agreement and their troubles go away.
Their refusal to even negotiate is the source of their problem. "When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do" When in Sweden....
