From what I understand they initiated action on behalf of Tesla's workers and did not need to represent all or most of those employees to initiate the strike.

Yeah, the whole "voting for union membership" is foreign to Sweden, but in some industries membership is a rule rather than an exception. At some point, when there are enough union members at a company, unions tend to start working towards "collective agreements".
