Denmark is ending its traditional postal service, with PostNord delivering its last letter as digital communication replaces physical mail, making Denmark the first country to fully phase out traditional letter delivery due to the decline in mail volume and the rise of digital communication. The shift reflects broader global trends, though concerns remain about accessibility for vulnerable groups.
Denmark will cease its traditional letter delivery service on Dec. 30 due to declining volume and financial losses, transitioning focus to parcel delivery, with the phaseout of 1,500 jobs and red mailboxes, while private company Dao will take over letter dispatches, reflecting broader European postal cost-cutting trends.
The Danish postal service will cease letter delivery after over 400 years due to declining demand from digitalisation, with the last letters to be delivered on December 30. The company is shifting focus to parcel delivery, and alternative options for sending letters will be available through other providers like Dao. Despite the decline, a recent trend shows increased letter-writing among young people, but the overall physical mail volume has drastically fallen, marking the end of an era.
Tesla Sweden has lost a court appeal, preventing them from picking up new car license plates from courier Postnord. The Norrköping District Court initially allowed Tesla to collect license plates directly from the manufacturer, but the decision was overturned by the Göta Court of Appeal. Tesla and its customers have found a loophole to receive license plates directly, but the automaker still requires assistance for car deliveries. Postnord joined a strike against Tesla, affecting license plate deliveries, and the Swedish Transport Agency refuses to change couriers. Tesla has filed a lawsuit against Postnord and the Swedish Transport Agency.
Tesla has lost a legal battle against Sweden's postal service, PostNord, as the fight with Nordic trade unions intensifies. A Swedish court ruled that PostNord does not currently need to deliver license plates to Tesla, which are being blocked by postal workers. This comes as Tesla faces pressure from unions demanding a collective agreement. The Nordics are a crucial market for Tesla, and a Danish pension fund has sold its holdings in the company due to its refusal to enter into such agreements. The court's decision is interim, pending a final ruling, and follows Tesla's lawsuit against PostNord. Other workers, including dockworkers and drivers, are also refusing to service Tesla in solidarity with the union.
