Another thing nobody is talking about in here, 90% of Tesla’s workforce in Sweden voted against the Union. The Union then went after the post office to stop the delivery of license plates once they were rejected.
This is so weirdly inaccurate. The union didn’t ”go after” the post office, the postal worker’s union (another union) went into sympathy strike with the metal worker’s union, and hence stopped delivering to Tesla. Transportstyrelsen that discharge the plates (and the only ones who can) are using PostNord which is very unionized with the postal worker’s union, and PostNord won the procurement to be Transportstyrelsens only delivery agent.
The 90% number is also fake and can’t be backed up.
My understanding is that all service centers in Sweden are still servicing cars so at the very least a decent % of Tesla employees are not on strike while media makes it seem like most service technicians at Tesla are on strike.
I also can’t find any source on % of Tesla employees on strike, so it’s difficult to gauge other than what media is reporting on, most of which don’t actually focus on Tesla employees but on other unions in Sweden refusing to work with Tesla.
It’s paywalled and not in English but it’s been translated by a few ppl.
Can’t find anything about a union vote in Sweden. I feel like there isn’t enough info about what the Tesla employees want to really form an opinion here.

That’s not the same as a union vote. It’s also not particularly surprising that non-union workers would not strike… since they’re not in a union. The whole point of this action is to give those workers collective bargaining leverage — the power to strike, effectively.
I apologize, I’m parroting info I had read from multiple posts on social media, but I cannot find anything to back this up. Crossing out what was posted above.
That’s not quite what the article you’ve just linked says. What it says is that the judge granted an interim request for the plates to be picked up by Tesla. It’s a ‘win’ in that it allows Tesla to continue their business, but it isn’t (yet) a win of the case itself. The litigation is still pending.
lol that is not going to go well for Tesla.
They already won.

I can’t find anything to support this claim — do you have a reliable reference, by any chance?

This is the only thing I could find coming from a Tesla employee: https://www.na.se/2023-11-16/tesla-ar-den-basta-arbetsgivare-jag-haft
