Tesla is free to not sign a CBA, and union members are free to not serve Tesla. Swedish labor market is very free (as in unencumbered by laws and government intervention).

they aren't extralegal. the strike actions are protected by law. they are exercising their legal right every bit as much as tesla is by suing (and losing).

> Sure, in that case maybe Tesla would never have entered Sweden, but what good is that? It's bad for Sweden, Tesla, and the environment.

How exactly would it be "bad for Sweden" if Tesla never had entered? Tesla is just another large company. Why would it bad for Sweden if Tesla didn't enter their market because Tesla didn't want to comport itself according to Swedish laws and customs?

What is extralegal currently?

Extralegal?

The right to strike is enshrined in the Swedish constitution of all things.
