Starting Friday, dockworkers in all Swedish ports will refuse to offload Teslas, cleaning crews will no longer clean showrooms, and mechanics won’t fix charging points as the labor dispute rages on.

        We are music agnostic, need to keep our eyes on the ball and not descend into the madness that is metal genre debates.

        Obviously not dead metal workers, they have the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work

      Like Ironworkers, steelworkers or tinbenders? They are all separate unions here in the US though all three are AFL-CIO.

      If anyone is wondering, Ironworkers are erectors, steelworkers work in foundries and steel mills and tinbenders are sheet metal guys. Roughly.

        We are quite diverse and do not conform to the old guilds, we are the union of the industry union and the metal union since 2006.

        Everything from miners, pastics, medical equipment, industrial chemistry, glassmakers, autobody, forgeworkers to locksmiths and metal shops.

          That’s the way it should be and would be here in the US but for a suite of historical and socio-political influences that have tended to fracture the skilled trade unions into different specialties.

          Fortunately most of the big unions fall under the AFL-CIO umbrella, but our laws are such that it’s not the case that AFL-CIO can negotiate as a single block.

          And of course some of that is simply due to scale since what makes sense in one part of the US doesn’t necessarily make sense in another.
