Tesla faces strikes in Sweden unless it signs a collective bargaining agreement

Trade unions in Sweden are putting pressure on Tesla to sign a collective bargaining agreement, similar to what most employees have in the country. The metalworkers' union, IF Metall, has already staged a walkout at workshops where Tesla cars are serviced, and other trade unions have joined in solidarity. The unions are threatening to prevent the handling and painting of Tesla cars if an agreement is not reached. Former Swedish prime minister and head of IF Metall, Stefan Löfven, has also encouraged Swedes to suspend purchases of Teslas until an agreement is signed.
