If you want further information regarding the serious side of this piece you can read this article from the LA Times and a local news site. I don't know the all the nitty-gritty details about the situation but I do want to add a little footnote to the LA Times article. At the end of the first page they mention the minimum wage differences between the Swedish workers & American workers however they neglect to factor in the severe difference in cost of living in both countries. I think to be fair they should only compare the wages of the factory to the local labor force.
Now I have to find something to get ABBA out of my head.
