While the US regulates strikes and minimum wages by law, it is in Sweden regulated by collective agreements. As Tesla is refusing to sign such an agreement in negotiations, they themselves made these strikes inevitable.
If a Swedish company coming to the US tried to change fundamental mechanics of the system there without the support of its citizens there would be a legitimate public outrage and calls for action. Why would Sweden be any different?
Have the workers looted Tesla's plants? Are they burning down Tesla cars in transit?
No?
Then fuck off. Workers are simply negotiating for a fair price for THEIR private property - the labor services that they provide.
And why is that bad? You've just described a negotiation between two private parties. In any negotiation, parties try to get their counterparty to do something with their property.
Workers are negotiating with the company about the sale of private property that they possess (aka "labor services"). Of course, workers can also organize together, it's simply an exercise in free speech.
Heck, it's as libertarian as it can be.
You see the goal of forcing union usage as a noble thing so you agree with these means. If the goal was one that you don't see as noble you'd definitely agree that it's very organized crime like.

Categorizing things as being criminal because you don’t like them is a juvenile sort of thinking.
