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.
“Why is nobody listening to us who work at Tesla? You read that 130 car mechanics have gone on strike. The fact is that no one in Örebro has gone on strike at all.
“Are we afraid? Absolutely not for our employer. Are we afraid of IF Metall? Yes, we are afraid of the union. I have received threats of dismissal from A-kassa. They have written that I am a traitor who does not stand up for my colleagues, etc.
“I enjoy my job. In fact, Tesla is the best employer I have ever had. I used to work at another workshop that had a collective agreement, where we were much worse off, which is why I chose Tesla.
“I chose Tesla because I want to be part of and contribute to a greener transition. Tesla is the car company that is responsible for the largest part of the green transition in Sweden, and I’m proud of it.
“Why does IF Metall continue to threaten us all the time just because we democratically choose not to have a collective agreement? It is actually us service technicians (not car mechanics) who do not want a collective agreement.
“The union threatens not to clean our facilities. Are we then to work in dirt and misery? Is it IF Metall’s agenda to make sure we feel bad at work? If Metall and their LO chairman, who thinks it is better that we are unemployed than that we are better off without a collective agreement.
“Let us 137 service technicians vote on a collective agreement instead. Let democracy have its way. Is it the case that democracy does not exist in Sweden and in the trade unions anymore?”
“The union threatens not to clean our facilities. Are we then to work in dirt and misery? Is it IF Metall’s agenda to make sure we feel bad at work? If Metall and their LO chairman, who thinks it is better that we are unemployed than that we are better off without a collective agreement.
I mean they can clean themselves or have Tesla hire non-union workers to clean. I thought Tesla had great working conditions and doesn’t need unions. How come they can’t get their workshops cleaned?

Your source is a Tesla fan blog. That’s not a source.
They are the top hits under google news. If you don’t think google news feed is wrong, take it up with Google. They seem to report Tesla news good or bad and include citations/ links to their Swedish news sources and opinion pieces. Seems neutral. But u r free to show better news source and l why it’s wrong. Don’t just say “ Fake News” like some Trump supporter.
Lol dude, I use Google news every day, and it provides absolutely shit sources on the regular. They run out of legit news sources, they’ll fill in space with nearly anything. Just random click farming blogs written by AI if they need to.
Yeah dude, this Reuters article came from Google news. Obviously this Reuters is just another “shitty” illegitimate, random fake-news click farming pro-Tesla blog too since it didn’t put out pro-union story. Thanks so for clearing that up 🙄🙄
Why does IF Metall continue to threaten us all the time just because we democratically choose not to have a collective agreement? It is actually us service technicians (not car mechanics) who do not want a collective agreement.
amazing bit of twisted backwards logic - the only reason people would specifically not want a cba is if their employer threatens them with some repercussions, which is like the biggest reason to have a cba

So, it’s not the actual people ? Is the blog “Lying” and making up the content?
Idk if one guy is a reliable source.
Pretty much all other Swedish sources says that the big majority have gone on strike.
Maybe the boy those in Örebro didn’t go on strike I guess. If it’s true.
This article doesn’t seem to understand that the reason for why the union is trying to get a CBA is because the employees specifically asked for one.
Teslarati? Sounds neutral 🤡
