Tesla sues Sweden for blocking deliveries due to workers’ strike
Tesla filed a lawsuit against Sweden. The reason is that deliveries are blocked during worker strikes. Here are all the details.
Tesla filed a lawsuit against Sweden. The reason is that deliveries are blocked during worker strikes. Here are all the details.
Tesla sued Sweden’s transportation agency and postal service on Monday over a union strike that has blocked the company’s plate deliveries in the country. Workers have been on strike for some time to demand the signing of a collective bargaining agreement. But the Swedish Transport Agency said it had received an interim order from the district court ordering Tesla to comply with the license plate collection request within seven days or face heavy fines. For now, the agency is trying to understand how the process will work and where this case could lead.
The company, which delivered more than 9,000 EVs to Swedish customers in 2022, wanted to ensure smooth transportation this year as well. The Swedish Transport Agency’s actions were interpreted as a “unique attack” on the company run by Musk. Workers’ strikes cause disruption of the company’s work. The company’s lawsuit asks the district court to impose a fine of 1 million kroner ($95,803) on the Swedish Transport Agency. Registrations were delayed because workers at state-owned postal service PostNord stopped supplying license plates to Tesla after joining the strike.
The lawsuit alleges that the Swedish Transport Agency rejected the automaker’s request that it obtain the license plates itself or, failing that, send them through a different channel. Reutersreported that Tesla filed two lawsuits: one against the Swedish Transport Agency and the other against PostNord.
