Denmark's 3F labour union said on Tuesday it will support Swedish mechanics in their strike action against Tesla , and will refuse to unload or transport cars made by the U.S. auto company for customers in Sweden.
Within Danish law, yes. This is a so-called ‘sympathy conflict’ which is legal. The Danish model for the work market is that conflicts are legal until a signed agreement exists with a union.
When a signed agreement (overenskomst) exists, strikes are not legal until it is time to renegotiate the agreement, which happens every 4 years.
This system was put in place in 1899 following a four month lockout of more than half the Danish unionized workforce. In the end, the workers won the right to unionize, and the employers won the right to lead and distribute work under the terms on the specific agreement made with the unions.
As a result, Denmark does not have state mandated minimum wages or really much state meddling in the work market. It’s all self organising to a degree.
