Tesla has filed a lawsuit against the Swedish government's Transport Agency over a workers' strike that has blocked the U.S. auto maker's requests for license plates for new vehicles, business daily Dagens Industri reported on Monday.
The head of the finance union Finansförbundet (also a woman btw) also recently stated that they support IF Metall in their strike. They haven’t threatened any actions yet, but that’s the one that broke Toys R Us back in the day. If this union decides to blockade Tesla, they would need to wheelbarrow cash in order to do any business, because the workers won’t process their bank transactions.
Tesla is being targeted because they refuse to sign a CBA. The reason why even the postal workers are striking against them is mainly that they brought in strike breakers, a massively stupid move by Tesla.
“We don’t want to work with unions, so we’re going to bring in an existential threat to the existence of the the labor system that’s made Sweden prosperous and successful k thx bye” - Elon, probably
Also, as an American, I’m really wondering how many of these people defending Tesla here are my countrymen who can’t wrap their heads around the idea some countries work differently than others
Americans have been force fed anti union propaganda for so long that they can’t see things being different in other countries. On top of that, if anything American, in this case a company, is in trouble overseas the patriotism gene kicks in.

I’m more curious why they target only Tesla. Is Tesla license plate special enough so that their workers refuse to deliver.
Because they aren’t signing the CBA.
Everybody else has one already.
