I guess a /s was missing from your the first part of your comment. Still, the sentiment I sense is mostly anti-Musk/anti-billionaires. It’s fine to talk about differences in cultures but when you have Swedish companies founded by Swedes (and how are now also billionaires) doing the same thing as Tesla, the narrative kind of brakes down imho. How did Spotify get away not having a union for over 15 years?

>How did Spotify get away not having a union for over 15 years?

I think you are missing the point here. You seem to be basing your expectations on one union by how another union behaves. I have no idea why they do what they do, but this is not some kind of US hate thing - that's a bit far-fetched in my opinion.

Ask yourself this: Where you live, is the culture and history of a union representing metalworkers the same as those that would be representing someone from Spotify? In most countries, unions in different areas act very differently. Programmers, metalworkers, miners, academia - their unions are more often than not very different.
