"Swedish workers are uniting against #Tesla. From tomorrow, cleaners will stop cleaning Tesla showrooms, electricians won’t fix the company’s charging points, and dockworkers will refuse to unload Tesla cargo at all Swedish ports. What started as a strike by Tesla mechanics is spreading, in something Swedish unions describe as an existential battle...The standoff in #Sweden is the biggest union action the company has faced anywhere in the world"
“Port workers have refused to unload Tesla’s goods at Swedish ports for days, cleaning staff have announced their refusal to clean Tesla’s showrooms and workshops, and electricians have pledged not to repair the company’s charging stations. Since Nov 20, postal workers have joined the movement, ceasing deliveries of letters, spare parts, and pallets to all Tesla addresses in Sweden.”
The solidarity act of the week comes from #Sweden where the dockworkers have denied to unload #Tesla cars after Tesla had blocked its Swedish workers from unionising. You really cannot bully your way out in Scandinavia, Herr Musk. https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-sweden-strike/

People might know that there are countries where it is effectively impossible for Jews to live.
What less people know is that there are countries where Jews are not banned outright, or prevented from getting work permits by law, but are made to pay a "Jew Tax" in the form of preventing Jews from producing kosher meat, requiring them to buy foreign meat that is less available and costs a lot more.
Those countries are Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Estonia and Slovenia.
These countries have a "Jew Tax" which requires their Jewish citizens to buy food at higher prices.
Canada has now joined these countries.
When I was in school and people would ask "How could people pass laws against Jews?", the answer is this... by starting with making life more difficult for Jews, then like the frog in the pot, turning up the heat.
Ukraine has received 10 Swedish variants of Leopard 2 tanks known as Stridsvagn 122, manned by Ukrainian crews trained in Sweden, the Swedish military announced on Sept. 21.
"On Friday, dockworkers, who've been refusing to unload Tesla vehicles at four major Swedish ports for several weeks, will extend their blockade to all ports in the country... If Tesla doesn't cave after three days of strikes, Sweden's postal workers have also announced that they will join the strikes and stop delivering letters, spare parts, and pallets to #tesla"
Here is the first of my photos from the recent snowfall.
There is a hill/mountain near me from where one has an awesome view over the region. Getting up there was not easy because of all the snow, but it was worth it.
Right now it is raining heavily and the snow is melting fast, so all that remains from the beautiful snow covered landscape are memories and photographs…
Luckily winter is only just beginning and there will be a lot more snow to come…
