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.
Sympathy strikes happen regularly in construction though, even in America. Basically if the customer is doing something bad to one union shop, the others will show their support.
I was part of one a long time ago. The client company was refusing to deal with a complaint from one contractor. So one day all the other contractors took a day off. Just one day, but the whole project shut down. The union paid me for the day off, and the client decided to move on the outstanding issue. The whole thing though is that it shouldn’t need to become a big enough deal that news services take notice. Give a warning shot, if you will, not a major disruption for anyone involved.
