They've laid it out pretty well. A strike is downing tools and not showing up to work. Not doing your work, but neglecting certain customers.

…according to you:) This is a so called sympathy strike: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solidarity_action

The only example of this exact thing in there is...the exact thing against Tesla we're talking about. Everything else is striking against a related company to one's employer's company.

Well, its wikipedia. Im not sure what you are arguing against. Sympathy strikes are guaranteed by the Swedish constitution.

> Well, its wikipedia

What does that mean?

Wikipedia still has some ways to go when it comes to the history of various smaller countries, I guess. And in even in English it has some gaps.

Yes, but they're the ones citing it. I don't understand their response in light of that.

Now you made me read the link. :-D

It defines the concept pretty well, which is somewhat valuable, but has few citations, which is unfortunate.

The only clear citation of this definition of "sympathy strikes" is... the current Tesla issue :)

Yes.
