They already pay above the normal workshop wage in Sweden so the issue isn’t about that. It’s about the collective agreement. You can always go above that, so the argument that they already pay more doesn’t hold. It’s about worker protections and setting a minimum.

They’ve got their own problems here in the US but lax government oversight and weak state rules for labor organization hinder their ability to hold tesla liable for the nooses and robots-crushing-employees and molds exploding and other horrors.
It’s also hard to hold Tesla accountable in the public square when they “don’t have a public relations department” and shit like Musk’s poop-emoji replies to the press.
