you also have the interim measures coming out of the investment sector – Danish pension fund to sell its Tesla shares (and some Swedish pension funds are sending warnings to Tesla they are considering the same) – this is also one of those measures that’s a lot harder to reverse once the strike is over (investments for a pension fund are based on long-term reliability rather than day-to-day behavior)

Ya, these aren't quite what i meant, but that technically is the financial sector as I asked about.
This does ratchet up the pressure and keep the news cycle going though which is beneficial.
The unions have many tools to use, and they do not want to abuse their power and create undue pressure on society if they can potentially just make Tesla bleed. If Elon keeps on being stubborn, something will probably happen sooner or later.
So in this case undue pressure would be the employees not getting money on time vs Tesla being slowly bled right now but the employees all still being paid for their work?
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
I guess. I cannot speak for the unions and do not know their plans.
It makes sense anyway. I appreciate the insight, thank you.
