Elon Musk's Tesla faces labor disputes and shareholder backlash in Nordic countries
Tesla is facing a deepening crisis in the Nordic region as a Swedish court ruled that a labor union blockade of its mail will not be lifted, effectively halting the delivery of cars to customers in its fifth biggest market in Europe. Postal workers are refusing to deliver Tesla's mail in solidarity with employees at Swedish repair shops who went on strike due to the company's refusal to sign a collective agreement. Danish pension group PensionDanmark has publicly dumped its shares in Tesla, and unions in Denmark and Norway have threatened to block shipments of Tesla cars. The breakdown in relations has prompted investor pressure on the carmaker, with other pension funds expressing concerns and urging Tesla to change its behavior.
