I’ve been following the strike and sympathy strike happening against Tesla and the similarities to what happened with Toys R Us, and I’m left wondering why the financial sector in Sweden hasn’t stepped in by now?

This has spread to multiple countries now, so it’s not like this is day 1 of the strike.

Do they consider themselves some sort of thermonuclear option and would rather not get involved unless necessary for some reason?

If my understanding is right, they’re what forced Toys R Us to sign an agreement since they couldn’t effectively do anything like payroll anymore?

It seems like the logical next step to me at this point unless I don’t understand something about how the sympathy strikes work there?

    you also have the interim measures coming out of the investment sector – Danish pension fund to sell its Tesla shares (and some Swedish pension funds are sending warnings to Tesla they are considering the same) – this is also one of those measures that’s a lot harder to reverse once the strike is over (investments for a pension fund are based on long-term reliability rather than day-to-day behavior)

      Ya, these aren’t quite what i meant, but that technically is the financial sector as I asked about.

      This does ratchet up the pressure and keep the news cycle going though which is beneficial.
