So you are okay with, say, the individuals of a fire department deciding not to put out a fire because they don't like someone? This is a public service we are talking about here.

Should individuals be forced to perform their duties against their wills?

That's what the money is for. They signed up to do a job and they are paid to do it. If they don't want to do the job they are free to quit anytime.

It is frowned upon to selectively do parts of your job when people are relying on you.

They are also free to strike.

If you are rendering a public service, absolutely. Unless doctors can just start letting patients die on their tables because they don't like their patient's politics.

What's wrong with a doctor refusing to treat a patient they don't like?

If you got in a car accident, you're okay with the ambulance just driving off because they don't like your bumper stickers?

Arbitrary discrimination can’t be compared to organized union strikes?
Re:Swedish court rules against Tesla in dispute with postal ... by hiatus on Thursday December 07, 2023 @02:10PM (#38560467)
Why is one arbitrary and the other not? I don't understand the distinction you are making.
Re:Swedish court rules against Tesla in dispute with postal ... by anonymouskimmer on Thursday December 07, 2023 @02:21PM (#38560609)
Because it is based on pre-stated principles, which the other party is capable of fulfilling. This makes it non-arbitrary.

I don't understand how my statement of firemen refusing to put out a fire because they didn't like the person is arbitrary. If they publicly stated they do not like the person because of their politics and will refuse to put out fires for anyone supporting that party does that make it okay to not put out a fire on their house?

Not liking someone is arbitrary and subjective

Swedish unions are not subjecting Tesla to strikes because they dislike Tesla or Musk, they are doing it to ensure they sign a collective bargain

It doesn't make it okay, but yes, it does make it non-arbitrary. But what VoxPelli wrote regarding your original statement.

And important to note as well: Swedish firefighters are not refusing to put out fires at Tesla workshops
Re:Swedish court rules against Tesla in dispute with postal ... by RandomLensman on Thursday December 07, 2023 @02:20PM (#38560598)
Because it relates to a labor dispute?
