   "We're seeing solidarity strikes right now in Sweden where Swedish mechanics are on strike against Tesla. The Finnish and Norwegian dock workers have decided to stop unloading Teslas. Postal workers have stopped delivering Tesla license plates, but that would not be allowed in the United States. The United States has very strict laws around union organizing, and solidarity strikes are not legal."

     @CindyS @KevinCarson1 it's not as much about being arrested as it is about immediately losing your job due to at-will employment and forfeiting unemployment insurance, especially in a time where no one can afford to save

     @lewdthewides @CindyS @KevinCarson1 Or if you're employed by the federal government, striking for any reason is actually a felony. So forget solidarity strikes, things have to be incredibly and utterly screwed up for any federal employee to even *consider* it (they probably put this into law because of the postal strikes in the 60s and before basically paralyzing the entire country when they happened, to the point of the feds having to call in the armed forces to staff those plants in their stead)
