Musk said last week: “I disagree with the idea of unions. I just don’t like anything which creates a lords-and-peasants kind of thing.”
Isn't he the world's richest person currently?

The propaganda here is that they want you to believe that collective action against them makes them lords - but they were lords before, unionisation just limited that power: The limitation of power makes them cry their propaganda.
Good ... then he should sit down with the unions and talk to them as equals
He has been. No idea if he still is, seeing how X is in freefall.
It’s understandable that he doesn’t like lords and peasants, since his family’s fortune was built on slave labor. He would naturally much prefer a master-and-slave kind of thing.
I don’t think X ever was part of his valuation. I

I think the French guy who owns Gucci is currently ahead because of the Twitter stupidity.
Isn't he the world's richest person currently?
not he losed it totwitter and them to stock failing
Twitter was a drop in the bucket for him. 44bil lost and still in the top 3 most wealthy people in the world. He has way too much money for his own good and we are watching in real time what that kind of money does to a person
I don't think the money is the root of evil in Musk. I think he was a bad man before he got rich. What we are witnessing is the result of a bad man who got too rich and now he can assert his will with his wallet in politics, economy, business, and anything else he chooses.
It's sickening.
Hey Elon, go fuck yourself.
I wish reporting would challenge the lords and peasants assertion. Workplaces with collective agreements don't require union membership, but all workers benefit from the collectively bargained terms of employment.
As is [Nordic] tradition
Don't fuck with Sweden!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tesla has lost a legal action against Sweden’s postal service as a dispute with Nordic trade unions escalates.
A Swedish court said on Thursday that PostNord did not, for the time being, need to deliver licence plates to the electric carmaker that were being blocked by the postal service’s workers, in the latest twist in a battle over collective bargaining agreements.
A large Danish pension fund on Wednesday said it would sell its holdings in Tesla because of the carmaker’s refusal to enter into such deals, while Denmark’s largest trade union has joined strike action by the company’s workers in Sweden.
Nordic countries represent key markets for Tesla, which has a policy of not agreeing to collective bargaining and has said its staff have as good or better terms than those that IF Metall is demanding.
In a case related to the PostNord action, a court on 27 November ruled that the Swedish Transport Agency must find a way to get licence plates to Tesla.
Some Swedish pension funds have urged Tesla to sign the agreement with the union, but have so far held off from selling their shares.

That is great news
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
