Earlier quoted context omitted.

It does tend to help. I read somewhere that "Germany is financing the EU, but Bavaria is financing Germany", that probably not entirely true, but it is fun to think about.

I am in Munich right now. Bavaria should start doing something about this. Snow from Friday is still not taken care of. Public transportation still does not work. Pathetic.

WDYM public transportation does not work?

A friend of mine was supposed to move from Berlin to München for a job during last Saturday. He can't, trains were fucked, airport was closed, flight canceled and you can't trust DB during the best of days and weather, no way to be sure you will get there unless you have a car.

Seems to be a complete clusterfuck, as someone living in the Nordics it's pretty funny to think that a bit of snow can simply grind to a halt the richest area of Germany.

I would love to see an EU wide movement.

Would not happen. Musk should have established the factory in EE where the local labor would bend over to him.

To be fair, lack of labor regulations and "bending over to foreign investors", including German and EU ones, is what got Eastern Europe out if the grim post communism poverty.

You can't have strong unions and labor regulations when you don't have your own captive world leading domestic industry like IKEA, Siemens, SAAB, Novo Nordisk, Bosch, Airbus, etc. Nobody would invest in your country.

For the Danish reporting there is an indication that what the unions really want is for Germany to join as that would create massive problems for Tesla.

IG Metall already expressed solidarity, so it's really more of a question of how much it spreads and Germany and what particular actions they take.

Expressing solidarity is the equivalent of sending "likes" or thoughts and prayers on social media.

Isn't that most of EU politics? Getting Germany to go along with what they want?

Germany can't, a judge from the Nazis times prohibited such strikes in the sixties.

Edit:

Seems like some need a history lesson about Hans Carl Nipperdey

Above atricle would prove otherwise.

Nope, it called solidarity strike.
