I've been following the strike and sympathy strike happening against Tesla and the similarities to what happened with Toys R Us, and I'm left wondering why the financial sector in Sweden hasn't stepped in by now?

This has spread to multiple countries now, so it's not like this is day 1 of the strike.

Do they consider themselves some sort of thermonuclear option and would rather not get involved unless necessary for some reason?

If my understanding is right, they're what forced Toys R Us to sign an agreement since they couldn't effectively do anything like payroll anymore?

It seems like the logical next step to me at this point unless I don't understand something about how the sympathy strikes work there?

The union that started the strike is paying their members that are on strike 130% of their wages after taxes to cover their wage and their benefits like pension, vacation, sick- and parental-leave etc.

Right but I think what the person replying to me meant is if the banking sector sympathy strikes and halts payroll, all non union tesla employees won't get paid on time or at all, and that isn't a step they will take lightly.

Well that is a step too far I would say
