"Tesla and the Swedish Model Explained"

The mother of all con tricks

Tuesday, November 14, 2023 by Martin Bäck

Now when the free speech predecessor Elon Musk meets the Swedish socialist model in a real conflict, I will take the opportunity to explain for the world how the Swedish model works in practice.

To be able to understand the complex eternal lie we need some background. Sweden has been governed by the social democratic party since 1922. There have been about 16 years interruption when the opposition parties have been in government, to keep the Potemkin that Sweden is a democracy.

All people in Sweden believe in three things:

That the labour union is negotiating for the interest of the labour workers.
That the Swedish social democratic socialist party and the labour union are two separate entities.
That the democracy and human rights are protected by the constitution and the laws.

If we shall conclude the social democratic ideology with one single word, it must be pragmatism. Pragmatic with regards to keep and enhance their power, now as well ass in the future. Within the illusion the social democratic party have the workers wellbeing and rights in mind when they make their laws. The laws are sent for review to the “other stakeholders”.

The stakeholders in Sweden are the workers, who are supposed to negotiate via the central umbrella labour organization LO, which is a part of the social democratic party itself.

If you have any doubt about that the social democratic party and the trade union umbrella organisation LO is the same entity.

The stakeholders at the opposite side are the business sector, who are organized by their umbrella organization “Svenskt Näringsliv” SN, which is an entity within the social democratic party.

The SN and the LO are together part owners of several insurance companies where all companies in Sweden must insure their workers due to the collective agreement. One of those companies is AFA insurance where Karl-Petter Thorwaldsson is the chairman of the board.

The collective agreement force the employee to pay a part of the salary into the separate pension scheme. The collectively owned insurance companies Alecta and AMF “invest” the money in Ilija Batljans company SBB. Ilija Batljan is a former social democratic politician with all fingers jammed in the jam can. The pension found Alecta have lost billions in their bellowed nephew company SBB, and tries to save it by additional buying of overpriced property while Ilija Batljan still takes 30% dividend from a bankrupt company. The socialist party will most probably bale it out with tax money in the end. In addition Alecta lost 2 billion Euros in the Silicon Valey bank crash. The Swedish worker is simultaneously fucked in all openings continuously since at least 50 years by the social democratic party with their trade union LO and their umbrella organisation SN for the industry.

Those fictive stakeholders are supposed to negotiate via a frame agreement named the collective agreement. The collective agreement is supposed to be voluntary for the parties, but it is brutally forced in to power by the LO part of the social democratic party.

As an aid for the tough negotiations between the LO part of the social democratic party and the SN part of the social democratic party the social democratic party made up an independent authority, the institute for mediation MI. The general manager for MI is Irene Wennemo who have been working as government secretary for the social democratic Stalinist Ylva Johansson. Before that she was since 1997 manager for the department for work at LO.

Collective agreement is the most central part of the so called Swedish model and cement the power of the social democratic party. That’s why the Swedish constitution protect the right to have a job, but not the right to private property.

People may believe the collective agreement between the worker and the industry is regarding negotiating the salary. That’s a complete misunderstanding. The collective agreement includes absolutely all aspects of life for the worker. In addition, it influences all aspects of the industry sector and the decisions taken by the board. The collective agreement stipulates who will be nominated for the company board, where some seats will be held for the LO representatives (the socialist party).

The absolute most focal point of the collective agreement. It is that the LO has the interpretative prerogative. The meaning of this is that any conflict of interest can’t be solved by any court, since the socialist party via LO have the right to interpret what so ever.

Another important aspect is the law of participative right for the workers. Within this law every decision made by the private enterprise must be negotiated with the union/socialist party.

19 § An employer shall continuously keep the employees' organisation in relation to which he is bound by a collective agreement informed of the development of his business in terms of production and economy, as well as of the guidelines for personnel policy. In addition, the employer shall give the employees' organisation the opportunity to examine books, accounts and other documents relating to the employer's activities to the extent necessary for the organisation to safeguard the common interests of its members in relation to the employer. If this can be done without unreasonable expense or inconvenience, the employer shall, upon request, provide the employee organization with a copy of the document and assist the organization with the investigation that it needs for the purpose just indicated.

When the employer goes in to a collective bargaining agreement the right for the worker to negotiate is automatically abolished.

More and not least interesting is if we search for collective agreement (kollektivavtal) in the Swedish law database, we will find 4635 hits. The social democratic party have under their century of power produced laws based on a “voluntary” agreement where the party itself have the interpretative prerogative. This means that the party can from time to time interpretate the meaning of the law arbitrarily.

The conclusion of this is that if a Swedish citizen has a job, they “voluntarily” give up their free will to act in their own interest. The worker’s interest is supposed to be interpretated by the socialist party. To give up rights to strike, as well as right to negotiate their salary, beside all other aspects of a worker’s life.

What is in it for the industry? The industry gets artificially low salaries combined with the fact that the worker has no right to strike. When EU decides about minimum wages it cause a problem for the Swedish model, since 50% of the Swedish workers does not reach the minimum wage level.

The Swedish bureau of statistics measure the average salary in Sweden in a slightly corrupt way. They take all different professions average salary and make an average for the country. Such as stock broker and taxi driver. They add the average and divide it in 2. Hence the 500 000 drivers who work 40 hours week for 1800 euro per month and the stock broker who earn 10000. The average salary will be 5900 euro per month.

The law of Sweden is mainly a product to maintain the power of the socialist party. The lawmen are mainly selected by the socialist party as well as the professors in the law universities. Sometime the tsunami of laws contains flaws. Such as:

Lag (2013:644) om rätt till lön och annan ersättning för arbete utfört av en utlänning som inte har rätt att vistas i Sverige

Act (2013:644) on the Right to Wages and Other Compensation for Work Performed by a Foreigner Who Does Not Have the Right to Reside in Sweden

If a foreigner has no right to be in Sweden the collective agreement regulates the salary for such a criminal. That’s coherent, isn’t it?

Förordning (2015:527) med instruktion för Upphandlingsmyndigheten

Ordinance (2015:527) with instructions for the National Agency for Public Procurement Section 7b: Qualification requirements, information on documents and evidence on quality assurance and environmental management standards, and information, such as laws, regulations, collective agreements

Trade union veto rights in certain cases

Lag (1976:580) om medbestämmande i arbetslivet §38

Section 38 Before an employer decides to allow someone to perform certain work on his behalf or in his business without the latter being an employee of the employer, the employer shall, on his own initiative, negotiate with the employees' organisation in relation to which he is bound by a collective agreement for such work. At the hearing, the employer is obliged to provide the information about the intended work that the employee organisation needs in order to be able to take a position on the negotiation issue.

Here we can assume that a nephew or a party comrade can be more fit for the assignment.

If Tesla wants to install coffee machines in their service centre lobby, they need to inform the trade union / socialist party if they need to negotiate according to the collective agreement. If there shall be an emission of shares in the Tesla group the collective agreement with the law of participative right they must inform the politruks in the party via the LO and the local union.

Together with the Employment (Co-determination in the Workplace) Act (1976:580), the collective agreement constitute that the socialist party via the LO shall be informed about all what happens in a private company, and have the right to determine if it shall be negotiated about on behalf of the employee. However, the insider rules do not apply for the dear members of the trade union/socialist party, who are above all doubt because they are democratically elected and all other bullshit you can think of.

What if a company refuse the collective agreement? Well follow the Tesla case, where the socialist party via LO will cause all trouble, you can think of. But there is one significant area where the party has the triumph on their hand. The authority for electrical safety promotes the certified people for electrical installation. Any electrical work in Sweden needs to be done under surveillance by a certified politruk (compliance officer).

They will make sure that no electrical installation work will be performed if the company does not have collective agreement. All companies will sooner or later need some kind of modification or extension of the electrical system. Hence the law says that there must be a compliance officer included for the electrical installation company. No collective agreement, no electricity!

What if the employee doesn’t wants collective agreement. If the company has collective agreement the employee is automatically included. Most people in Sweden today can’t live from their salary. The state will subsidise the private with what he/she needs in advance if the private follows the ideology. Don’t own anything, spend your salary in accordance with what the party decides and be a member of the union/party. Keep the right opinion and be a good member of the proletariat.

The Swedish constitution guarantee the right to work.

The individual's personal, economic, and cultural well-being must be fundamental goals for public activities. In particular, the public sector must safeguard the right to work, housing and education, and work for social care and security and for good conditions for health.

Via the work you are prone to be under the collective agreement. Hence you give away your right to decide for yourself. All your wellbeing is included either by the collective agreement or the constitution.

The ubiquitous insurance for loss of income is managed by the trade union LO. Hence you must pay the member fee to get the insurance, which is mainly funded by tax money. The trade union will make the decision if you or when you are made redundant is eligible for support. The fee to the union will be handed over as economical support to the mother organisation, the social democratic party.

But you as a private is not eligible to decide where or how to live your life or to negotiate your own salary. The main part of your salary will be taken care of by the state and portioned to you according to your needs. Subsidised rent, subsidised childcare collective insurance and a pension scheme that will fail due to corruption. As all socialist projects there will soon or later be a disaster.

The narrative with Tesla is that the workers are not paid in accordance with the collective agreement and that their right are not taken care of.

In the 2023 collective agreement we can se the salary levels for 2023 and 2024.

Be aware of that categories a) to h) have a 3 years upper secondary vocational education specialized for the branch. For the category t) they have additional 3 years education.

It is first after 6 years of work experience that the Swedish mechanics reach the proposed EU minimum salary.

The "collective agreement" on page 33 lists all what the employer needs to pay to the social democratic party insurance and pension schemes. That’s the focal point with the collective agreement. Together with tax and other charges the state gets the major part (about 70%) the employee comes next and then the social democratic party with LO and SN take their share.

The worker in Tesla has better salary than what the Swedish socialist party have decided. This brings the common problem that the employees don’t want any collective agreement. It is only the LO / Socialist party that wants the agreement. The collective agreement stipulates that the employer shall pay a part of the salary in to the corrupt pension founds controlled by the party. That’s the original issue. Look for Alecta and Allra scandals, where the board members are social democratic politruks.
