Elon musk behaves like a narcissist, so he could threaten to withdraw Tesla from all 4 Nordic countries, just because he is butthurt.
If that should happen, I'm personally OK with that too. We don't want foreign companies that threaten our right to unionize.

There are plenty of other EV options now too so no need for Tesla if they don't want to be fair to their workers.

And nothing of value is lost. Good riddance.

Thousands of Teslas may become unrepairable e-waste though.

Wait, what if Tesla is completely pushed out of EU?

There's no reason yet to leave all 4. All they need to do is leave Sweden and this ends.

I'm not sure what the situation is like in the other countries in terms of CBAs, but they haven't gone on strike internally for lack of agreement. It's only sympathy strikes elsewhere right now.
