But OTOH, it&amp;#x27;s sad to see the international race to the bottom: Tesla will of course not build a factory in Sweden, where the union representation rate is 88%, but in Germany, which theoretically has a very similar collective bargaining model, but where the rate has fallen to 54% (&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Collective_agreement_coverage#By_country&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Collective_agreement_coverage#...&lt;/a&gt;).</text><parent_chain><item><author>anon23432343</author><text>Welcome to Sweden :)&lt;p&gt;Unions are strong here which in general is a good thing!&lt;p&gt;You can&amp;#x27;t also fire people just for willing to join or create a union!&lt;p&gt;This is not the U S of A.
