Danish union joins Swedish workers’ strike against Tesla
Danish transport union 3F Transport joined the dispute between Swedish union IF Metall and Elon Musk’s Tesla over the latter’s refusal to sign a collective agreement, Euractiv reports.
IF Metall has received support from Danish union 3F Transport, which has decided to enter into a sympathy dispute with its Swedish colleagues, after six weeks of intense struggle and industrial action over a collective agreement at Tesla workshops in Sweden.
Now harbour workers and drivers will not be able to receive and transport Tesla cars to Sweden. Jan Villadsen, chairman of 3F Transport, noted in a press release:
With the sympathy strike, we are now putting further pressure on Tesla. Naturally, we hope that they will come to the negotiating table as soon as possible and sign a collective agreement.
Some Swedish labour unions have recently come forward to Tesla to demand collective bargaining agreements for their workshops. However, Tesla CEO Elon Musk is not in favour of this idea.
USPTO 13/573,002 claim: closer- cheaper given less attenuation over distance, less infrastructure needed
DARPA POWER ("Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay"): "develop a means of distributing energy wirelessly around the globe through airborne power transfer. First dreamed up by Nikola Tesla almost 100 years ago, if successful, this would be the most significant change to energy transfer since the first rollout of electrification almost 150 years ago. The program goals include demonstrating the key components of a resilient, speed-of-light energy network".
DARPA plans to create wireless energy transfer infrastructure to supply near-uninterruptable power to U.S. military bases worldwide. The plan, as reported by Popular Mechanics, is to use laser technology to beam electricity around the planet. Famously a dream of Nikola Tesla over 100 years ago, if successful, this technology, called fittingly enough POWER ("Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay"), would make the U.S. military less reliant on liquid fuel like diesel and vulnerable power lines, which can be intercepted or sabotaged by enemy forces. https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/darpa-laser-power-transfer
