Swedish Unions Expand Strike to Target Tesla Superchargers

Swedish labor union Seko, responsible for servicing EV chargers, has announced it will no longer meet Tesla's needs starting March 4 as an act of solidarity with other unions in conflict with the company over a collective bargaining agreement. This move will impact the maintenance and construction of Tesla Superchargers in the country, affecting not only Tesla customers but also non-Tesla EV drivers who use the infrastructure. The conflict reflects ongoing pressure on Tesla to sign a collective bargaining agreement covering a majority of its Swedish employees.

'Production Halted on 'Worst Cooks in America' Amid Crew Strike'

Production of the Food Network show "Worst Cooks in America" has been halted after around 50 crew members went on strike in an attempt to have the project covered under an IATSE contract. The crew members, including those in the camera department, grip and electric, and set decoration, were seeking fair wages and benefits. The union, IATSE, tweeted about the work stoppage, highlighting the need for industry-standard wages and benefits for unscripted TV crews. The production company, Objective Media Group, confirmed the shutdown due to the labor conflict. The strike comes amidst ongoing concerns about working conditions in reality television and a campaign to expose alleged mistreatment on NBCUniversal unscripted titles.
