Well, depending on the union, you may not get the full ammount, but they have money to give to members while on strike.
Also yes, here in Sweden all Unions have a separate fund, called Arbetslöshetskassa, it is ment to supplement your income when you get let go from a job and are looking for a new job.
Finally, here in Sweden, there are very few Unions that are workplace dependant, they are industry dependant.
You have a union for normal laborers, a union for civil engineers, transport workers, nurses, builders, IT workers and more.
They are large and it is very common to be a member of one of them.
Right now, Tesls is trying to skip out on signing a collective bargning agreement with IF Metall, the metal workers union, who’s members are doing servicing of Tesla cars, so they are on strike, not every union worker is on strike, just the ones working for Tesla.
Tesla has brought in scabs as a counter to the strike, but what they probably have not considered is that sympathy strikes are legal and used here, so the dockworkers union have stated that they will not unload Tesla cars arriving at the docks for deliver, unless a collective bargning agreement is signed on monday.
Toys ‘R’ Us tried this shit decades ago, and the trasport workers union refused their deliveries, the finance workers union regused to process their payments, the builders union refused to do any work to their stores.
