Swedish Court Rules vs Tesla in Labor Row

Tesla lost a chapter in a legal battle with Sweden's postal service as a fight with Nordic trade unions escalates, with a Finnish union joining a port blockade that will prevent the carmaker from exporting its vehicles to Sweden, as reported by Anna Ringstrom and Marie Mannes for Reuters.

A Swedish court ruled that PostNord does not, for the time being, need to deliver license plates to Tesla, which are being blocked by the postal service's workers, in the latest twist in a fight over collective bargaining agreements.

Tesla is facing growing pressure in the Nordic countries from powerful employee unions backing Swedish IF Metall's mechanics who went on strike on October 27, demanding a collective agreement with the company.

The Finnish transport workers' union AKT decided on Thursday to join the sympathy strike against Tesla, stating that it would start a blockade of Tesla vehicles destined for Sweden in all Finnish ports from December 20, as reported by Anne Kauranen, Johan Ahlander, and Jacob Gronholt-Pedersen for AP.
