It's only 120 employees.. Come on Tesla, do you have to prove how special you are?

Amazon is an interesting example: In Germany they insisted on paying their warehouse workers based on, but not boind by, Germany's collective bargained logistics agreement (Tarifvertrag) and not the retail one. On France, during the same time, they accepted the French retail agreement with the respective unions. Guess which one, retail or logistics, has the lower salaries in each country.

That Tesla isn't even willing to accept the smallest concessions in countries they operate in, no idea why they do this...

Amazon avoided having to sign a collective agreement with a union in Sweden by outsourcing their business in Sweden to some other company. The workers in that company have a collective agreement. I guess some arrangement like this could work for Musk as well if he wants to save face and pretend like Tesla still never signs collective agreements?
In Finland this is called "agreement shopping" and it's not exclusive to Amazon. Sadly happens all the time and unions seem to be losing the fight.
