In regards to the Tesla post about a day ago, really did warm my heart, I was wondering just how many times US companies went abroad thinking they’d steam-roll whatever labor unions there were and got absolutely bodied.
Obviously Tesla in Sweden and Germany, McDonald’s losing copyright over the Big Mac (UK I want to say?), the EU and Apple’s fight over charge cords, and plenty of others.
I’m just looking for some fun stories to pull me through the last 8 months of a crap contract in a country that has had far too much American business influence over the past decades.
Any time US shenanigans resulted in a company eating a loss, getting keel hauled, or forcing closures would be appreciated. Non-US as well, tell me times Nestle tried to steal water rights and got tarred and feathered for their troubles.
Help a poor sap out?
