Elon Musk ‘fires shots’ at Swedish strike action, Swedish union starts blocking Tesla

Elon Musk Criticizes Swedish Strike Action, Leading to Union Blocking Tesla

【PhoneAuto News】On November 24th, PhoneAuto noticed that according to “Cai Lian She”, there are currently nine unions in Sweden participating in the blockade against Tesla.

It is reported that in Sweden, postal workers’ protests have particularly angered Musk because it means the Swedish Transport Administration cannot issue new license plates to Tesla. Local laws state that license plates can only be delivered by mail and cannot be sent through any other means. Therefore, new Teslas cannot be put into use in Sweden.

• Ford to restart joint construction of battery factory with CATL, scale of production reduced
• BYD Formula Leopard Leopard 5 will start delivery today, starting at only 289,800 yuan.

Only after Musk learned about the above situation did he make the comment “going crazy” on the social media platform X. Negotiations have made no progress as the repair shop strike enters its fifth week. The chief mediator for both labor and management recently told the Swedish business daily Dagens Industri that Tesla’s subsidiary in Sweden has zero leeway to sign any agreements with unions, stating that it was a direct order from Musk himself.

Earlier this month, there were reports that Tesla is facing an increasing number of strikes in Sweden due to its refusal to accept collective labor agreements. The Swedish union IF Metall announced a strike, stating that after a “long period” of unsuccessful collective agreement negotiations with Tesla, they had no choice. The union hopes that “Tesla members can enjoy the same decent and safe working conditions as members of similar companies in Sweden.”

At the same time, dock workers in Sweden support this action by preventing the unloading of all Tesla deliveries. Although the dock workers in Sweden do not directly work for Tesla, they control the four main ports through which electric cars enter Sweden, thus directly affecting Tesla’s business in the country.
