Swedish Ports Threaten to Block Teslas From Entering the Country

Wired · 1y

Dock workers in Sweden are threatening to block deliveries of new Teslas entering the country, in the most serious labor dispute the company has faced in Europe to date. The Swedish Transport Workers’ Union, which represents over 57,000 workers in the transport industry, plans to start the blockade on November 7. The union is supporting workers at Tesla's Swedish repair shops who have been on strike since last Friday, protesting the company's refusal to sign a collective agreement. The union wants Tesla workers to have the same benefits as other Swedish employees.
