    Didn’t the recent Swedish Tesla conflict spill over borders? Dock workers in Norway and Sweden refused to unload materials for Tesla as long as the dispute in Sweden was resolved.

      It did, but not because the workers in Sweden pulled Norway along. The workers in Norway knew that if they didn’t stand in solidarity with their fellow workers then, then Tesla would try the same shit with them. In the US, those strikes are technically illegal (not criminal) but still happen anyway. I helped organize a walkout for CWA, and by getting the word out the teamsters showed up with equipment and we had 2 other local presidents come join us on the picket line.
