These aren't exclusive, it's just they've downed tools and stopped working for the customer the strike is against. People don't join unions for their employer, they join unions for their industry. Therefore a union can strike against an employer while maintaining working for those not breaking collective agreements.

Tesla isn't breaking a collective agreement.
This is true and I upvoted your comment.

Tesla, welcome to a free country where the state doesn't interfere. Truly a Rand-ian paradise. ;-)

Pretty sure Rand would say that if you join a company on a certain employment basis, you shouldn't then decide it's suddenly not good enough. But I haven't read any of her books, so I won't claim that very strongly!
You're right, I didn't write my original point very well. I'll blame it on Covid and rambling from bed lol.
