Hey I have a new article out at BJIR on the determinants of social dialogue in European countries, where we look at what factors influence the propensity of governments to involve trade unions and employers in policymaking. Paper and data available here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I had the privilege to work with @alexandreafonso.bsky.social and Pedro Goulart on this fascinating project. We provide a new dataset on Social Dialogue across 25 European countries, enabling us to provide new evidence on the structural and political determinants of social concentration.

This platform has grown explosively since the election, but growth has slowed down the past few days. Should we be concerned? No. A temporary plateau was inevitable given the heterogeneity of social media users. From my point of view Bluesky is already over the hump 1/

Just when German gov ends because "there is no money", study finds gov has subsidized private pension vehicle known for its outrageous fees with a whopping €40.7bn since 2002 – €2.7bn this year alone!

Besonders interessant ist auch, dass man Habeck quasi für das harte Vorgehen verantwortlich macht. Wenn es ja tendenziell eher daran liegen könnte, dass die CSU in Bayern einer Vorreiterrolle haben möchte und besonders konsequent Vorzugehen scheint. www.justiz.bayern.de/ministerium/...

Fiskalpolitische Anorexie: Soviel abmagern und Selbstbeschränken wie es geht. Die Substanz schwer angegriffen und der Körper ächts und knartzt. Aber einen kleine Happen will man nicht essen weil man sich panisch sorgt, das einen das Morgen wieder belastet. #Schuldenbremse

Look in the mirror with your absurd "6 out of 136" claim. If Metall says it's more than 50% of engineerings who are members on national media. That's a clear claim that is verifiable. Tesla's 90% is a claim with no reference to who they mean or when and could be made up.

Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 29/11/2023
I correct myself 90% is what they dubiously claim. www.teslarati.com/tesla-owners...

Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 29/11/2023
IF Metall has organised over half of the mechanics. If they had zero members somewhere, which they would according to your figures, Tesla would've legally congested their call to strike allready for sure.
000
Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 29/11/2023
Tesla stated 91% of the workforce aren't on strike. Mechanics were literally less than half of the workforce in the figures from last year. And again it seems more like a blatant lie. Otherwise they'd officially claim this way more.

Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 29/11/2023
Tesla is using strikebreakers which is literally the reason for the quick widening of the conflict as this has been a big no, no in Sweden since what happend in Ådalen in 1931.

Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 29/11/2023
You don't have to be a member of a union to strike and you don't have to strike if you are. Even according to Tesla's semiofficial statement (which isn't very trustworthy) at least 20-30% of mechanics are on strike. So the numbers are obviously made up nonsense.
100
Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 29/11/2023
Oh and IF Metall in contrast to Tesla actually knows who their members are.
000
Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 29/11/2023
That's just absurd and obviously made up. Tesla literally does not and cannot know who of its employees are union members and who aren't. And there are more quotes of people and location under strike than 6. Again If metall organizes over 50% of mechanics at Tesla.

Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 29/11/2023
In fact IF Metall was asked about it yesterday on Swedish radio and clearly said that a majority of technicians are IF Metall members. The strike turnout varies between locations at some almost all members are on strike at others it's less. sverigesradio.se/artikel/deba...

I don't have a dog in the fight. Unlike you teslarati. If Tesla left Sweden and maintenance was done by third parties paying better, I assume people wouldn't care much.

Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 27/11/2023
Can you read dates? Check the date of that article and the figures by the Swedish transport authority xD

Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 27/11/2023
Per Teslas own statement it is not. Because the workforce is much larger so even based on old numbers that would be 20-30% probably more. It also frankly does not matter in Swedish law.

Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 27/11/2023
That is not what I would call unhindered. And IF Metall has said they are in for a very long conflict. In Sweden that means years.

It's just a sign of desperation when you don't have any credible figures to relentlessly find someone else who has written the exact bullshit without any source.

Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 27/11/2023
That's not a source that is just another person sharing a baseless myth.

Yeah it doesn't. And if it did the agreeement would have 0 impact as it spells out minimum conditions. It would be insane to not sign it.

90% of Swedish workers are covered by collective agreements.
000
Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 27/11/2023
There's a massive legal difference here between a transport agreement and the manufacturing of government plates. I expect it will be virtually impossible to get them. Interim decisions will be appealed as well, I assume.

Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 27/11/2023
90% of Swedes are covered by agreements. The rest are mostly mom and pop shops.

Nobody has to join a union in Sweden. 70% of the population do though. Sweden is not the US the entire system is completely different.
000
Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 27/11/2023
Interim decision isn't a final one. It balances risks and benefits while the case is heard. And it doesn't prevent the plate manufacturing plant to go on strike against Tesla.
100
Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 27/11/2023
That is a highly dubious claim by Tesla about % of workforce currently striking. For starters the call to strike only affects a percentage of the Tesla workforce as most don't fall under IF Metall's area. The figure is hence dubious and irrelevant for Swedish law.
110
Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 27/11/2023
Unions have nothing to do with a company. Every individual decides for themselves if they jon or not and they absolutely have the right to strike including to blockade Tesla. If you don't like Swedish law, you can always leave.

Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 27/11/2023
Again the Swedish labour market works based on collective labour market regulation. That's why there is e.g. no minimum wage in Sweden. The state generally doesn't get involved in this.

Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 27/11/2023
They have members at Tesla and a legal right to negotiate for them and sign an agreement.

It's a constitutionally protected right. Mafiaesque is intimidating your workers, like Musk tends to do.

Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 27/11/2023
The agency said it could not allow pick up of plates due to contractual obligations. The next logical step for trade unions will be to directly strike at the plate manufacturer.
100
Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 27/11/2023
The logical next step is that there will be sympathy action at the license plate manufacturer.
010
Max Kiecker @recher.bsky.social · 27/11/2023
The strike didn't fail it is still ongoing and sympathy measures are standard and the legal right of trade unions under such circumstances.
