Tesla Faces Labor Strike and Union Opposition in Sweden
TL;DR Summary
Tesla mechanics in Sweden have been on strike for over a week, demanding a collective labor agreement. Dockworkers at the country's largest ports have pledged to support the strike by refusing to unload shiploads of Teslas. The trade union IF Metall has been urging Tesla to enter into talks for a collective agreement, which would cover wages and benefits for around 120 mechanics employed by the automaker in Sweden. Despite Sweden being a relatively small market for Tesla, the strike and potential involvement of other unions have prompted the company to schedule a meeting with the union representatives.
