Fast Technology reported on December 22 that the Swedish Court of Appeal rejected Tesla's request to force the postal company PostNord (Sweden Post) to provide license plates, ruling that PostNord does not need to provide license plates to Tesla for the time being.
The transport department refused to deliver the license plate by other means, saying that it was necessary to use PostNord according to the contract, which led to the fact that the Tesla sold in Sweden could not be licensed because there was no postal employee to deliver the license plate for it.
However, while PostNord workers refused to deliver license plates to Tesla, Sweden** reported that Tesla had found a way to bypass unions and require car buyers to order license plates on their own, but the effectiveness of this method has not been verified.
It is reported that Tesla's strike in Sweden continues to escalate, and more and more Tesla-related industries have joined the strike.
The strike, which began in earnest on October 27, was triggered by Tesla's inability to agree on a collective labor agreement with the Swedish unions, which initially involved only about 130 employees at Tesla's local repair shop.
Subsequently, local dock workers and car dealers also joined the strike, refusing to ship and sell Tesla products.
In addition, local postal workers no longer deliver letters to all Tesla addresses in Sweden, making Tesla's license plates undeliverable.
It is reported that about 70% of Sweden's workforce belongs to trade unions, and Swedish law allows for solidarity strikes in support of the efforts of other unions.
The Swedish union previously said in a statement that the union had tried to persuade Tesla to sign a collective agreement, but had never been able to reach an agreement, so the local union workers had to take strike action.
