Do you have that feeling sometimes that what you are doing is entirely inconsequential? You joined that startup with the cute-sounding name with promises of disruptiveness, but at the end of the day you are just doing yet another CRUD application that likely will run out of both runway and users and pivot to become some evil-ish adtech thing to survive? Yeah, we've all been there.
Northvolt is different! We will make a difference, we _are_ making a difference, and we want curious, intelligent, passionate engineers from junior to staff to help us on this journey.

Sounds great! If the company wants to make a difference in a not evil-ish way, you could start by improving the working conditions of the 2000 workers building your factory.
I don't appreciate the snarky tone, but I guess my somewhat glib original post might have warranted it.
At any rate, I do of course agree that the oversight we had with 3rd party construction workers clearly was not good enough. I think unfortunately those types of violations are fairly endemic in construction in general in Sweden, but that's not really an excuse for a company that bills itself as trying to make a positive change in the world. Gotta walk the talk etc.
I'm not so close to the construction team myself, but from what I know we have been making serious efforts lately to combat this problem by cutting down on subcontractors and working with the Byggnads union:
