Ted McCoy: funny how Canadians talk about unions and strikes. Never disrupt the normal workings of the business, inconvenience customers, or make any waves at all. If a strike happens immediately call on the government to intervene. A completely warped view of what collective action should be.

Isn’t this a very Nordic view?

It's really not.

I guess this is only true of Sweden https://www.thelocal.se/20190125/why-are-strikes-so-rare-in-sweden

Why are strikes so rare in Sweden?www.thelocal.se Around 1,000 port workers were involved in industrial action this week, when a dockworkers' union organized a strike and employers responded with a lockout. But in general, workers in Sweden strike much less than in almost every other country in the world.

That article makes it clear that there are few strikes in Sweden, not because of public sentiment, but because people are part of a better system where real pay keeps increasing.

Evidently they understand the value of not starting none, so there won't be none.

do you know anything about swedish union's strike against Tesla? did you hear anything about it? Canada could *never.*
