Swedish Unions vs Tesla
The Guardian: Tesla may have picked an unwinnable fight with Sweden’s powerful unions
For the first time anywhere in the world, workers for the US carmaker Tesla have gone on strike. It’s not a coincidence that this strike is happening in Sweden, which has one of the strongest labour movements in Europe. More than 90% of workers are protected by collective bargaining agreements, and the system has strong backing among employees and employers alike. With good reason: the Swedish labour relations model has sustained relative industrial peace between wage-earners and corporations for decades.
By refusing to play ball, Elon Musk’s car giant may have picked an unwinnable fight. What started as a minor local disagreement has grown to the point that it could have global implications, with potential ripple effects for labour movements and auto workers across Europe and the US.
Euronews: Swedish postal workers strike against Tesla
Swedish postal workers have joined the ongoing strike against Tesla, sparked by the carmaker's refusal to sign a collective bargaining agreement, leading to disruptions in deliveries and escalating tensions in the labour dispute.
Postal workers in Sweden have joined the strike against Tesla, as the US electric carmaker remains steadfast in its refusal to sign a collective bargaining agreement on wages.
The strike started at the end of October when 130 mechanics in 10 Tesla workshops across seven Swedish cities walked out. It has since extended its reach to various other workshops responsible for repairing Elon Musk's electric cars, leading to disruptions in the unloading of Tesla vehicles at ports.
The Service and Communications Employees' Union (Seko) declared on Monday its decision to halt the delivery and collection of mail and parcels to all Tesla sites in Sweden, including those serviced by the PostNord and CityMail groups.

Teslarati: Tesla Sweden vehicle deliveries increase 55% YoY despite strike: report
Tesla Sweden is currently dealing with an escalating strike from IF Metall. So far, the union has adopted a series of strategies that are designed to make it very difficult for Tesla to conduct its business in the country. Considering the electric vehicle maker’s sales this month, however, it would appear that the union’s anti-Tesla efforts are falling short.
As per Tesla, over 90% of its service technicians in its workshops have decided to keep working despite the ongoing strike. The union, for its part, has been taking measures to prevent Tesla from delivering its cars to consumers. Logistics companies have even gone on sympathy strikes, and efforts are underway to block ports in Sweden from receiving new Teslas.

Swedish postal workers have also joined the strike, halting the delivery and collection of mail at all Tesla sites in Sweden. The strike began in late October, impacting at least 12 of Tesla’s service centers in Sweden. This comes as the United Auto Workers union looks to organize Tesla plants here in the United States, following their successful strike against the Big Three U.S. automakers.

In an interview, Susanna Gideonsson, who heads the Swedish trade union federation fighting Tesla, sounded remarkably confident. “This will end with the employees winning a collective bargaining agreement, one way or another,” she said. And if they don’t? “Then Tesla can leave the country.” If she is right, this could be a tremendous symbolic victory, which would strengthen the tailwinds for union movements on both sides of the Atlantic.
In facing off with its Swedish mechanics, Tesla seems to have underestimated the sheer force of the union movement behind them. In classic David v Goliath fashion, the mechanics took on the world’s richest man, but the momentum is now with them.

STOCKHOLM, Nov 24 (Reuters) - The conflict between Swedish unions and Tesla (TSLA.O) heated up on Friday as a supplier of critical components joined in a sympathy action to get the electric car maker to sign a collective bargaining agreement for its Swedish workers.
Around 50 workers that make specialized Tesla components at Hydro Extrusions, a subsidiary of Norwegian aluminium and energy company Hydro, will either stay at home or be given other tasks from Friday until further notice, the IF Metall union said.

Tesla sympathy strike threatens jobs at Swedish factory: "Great concern"The Union mission to stop Tesla is not going to work.The result - 50 Swedish jobs are now threatened!The Swedish Union,
@ifmetall
is just hurting the country, the industry, the many suppliers to Tesla, but they are not coming anywere with their methods!Stop now!———————-
Today, the machines that make Tesla parts will stop at Hydro Extrusion in Vetlanda, Sweden. Now the company fears that IF Metall's strike will lead to jobs being threatened for the staff who manufacture for Tesla.- My honest answer to that question is yes, actually, if this is not resolved quickly, says Hydro Extrusion's CEO Jonas Bjuhr to Vetlandaposten.
During Friday, there will be another escalation of the Tesla strike. Then IF Metall takes out Hydro Extrusions, which manufactures aluminum parts for Tesla's Berlin factory, on strike. The plan is that GigaBerlin will not be able to manufacture cars when important parts are missing.- Without that detail, you cannot deliver the car. So it is very noticeable, says IF Metall's Veli-Pekka Säikkälä to Dagens Arbete.Hydro Extrusions in Vetlanda has its own collective agreement and around 50 employees are now affected by the strike, even though the company is not a party to the conflict.
CEO Jonas Bjuhr believes that Tesla can quickly replace the parts with other suppliers, so the union's hopes that it will close Tesla's factory in Berlin will not be fulfilled in that case.The strike may instead have as the only consequence that Swedish jobs are now threatened and moving elsewhere.- It is nothing unusual, so I am convinced that all the customers we work with have a plan for how to handle a situation when it stops, says Bjuhr to Vetlandaposten.
When Tesla quickly replaces the Swedish parts with parts from other suppliers, it is not certain that they will return and then there will be layoffs at Hydro Extrusions in Vetlanda.- So our wish is really that there can be a solution quickly. It is clear that we want to protect jobs in Vetlanda, jobs in Finspång and jobs in Sweden in general. That’s the big concern here that if it becomes long-term, it could have consequences that are greater than what we see now, says CEO Jonas Bjuhr.
It appears Tesla has gotten caught up in more than what started as just a beef between mechanics at Tesla and Tesla(or was it?)
in Sweden and has morphed into a gargantuan Swedish unions vs Tesla.
Interesting thread
You MUST read this! Very well written about the strike, now and historically, differences, Swedish Business Confederation's participation and reluctance to say ”it’s enough” Who actually benefits from collective agreements and who the winners are, for real! Really Good
@Nationstatist
As if I wrote it myself
Strikes like at Klarna or Tesla are not about actual conditions for the employees, but about the power over the pension funds' 2,000 billion kroner. And Svenskt Näringsliv, which should be on the side of the entrepreneurs in the battle, is raising arms, because the big fund managers are co-owned with the same unions that call for strikes, writes John Gustavsson.
The union's view of strikes has slowly changed. Traditionally, the aim of a strike was to pressure companies with poor wages and conditions to improve wages and conditions, which is something most people can get behind. Today, instead, we see militant strikes and blockades against companies like Klarna and Tesla, where the employees already have both high wages and good working conditions.
Instead of focusing on actual conditions, the union's focus is now solely on companies having signed collective agreements. The salaries and benefits offered don't really matter. This is an ideological power struggle where the union seems to have no objection to worsening the conditions of the employees as long as the companies capitulate and sign collective agreements.
In Klarna's case, the union's demands could lead to the staff losing hundreds of millions, which would have been incomprehensible based on the union movement's original goals. Even employers who offer better conditions are today forced into collective agreements through strikes and blockades that few can withstand in the long run. Mandatory collective agreements risk damaging high-tech industries and impairing Sweden's competitiveness. Many companies that today avoid collective agreements are still willing to offer high wages, but refuse agreements because the outdated rules do not suit their modern growth industries.
Collective agreements came about at a time when greedy mill patrons forced state workers and back-shack dwellers to work for starvation wages. They served their purpose, but the challenges of our time are different from those of that time. Say what you will about Tesla and Klarna, but they cannot be accused of paying poorly.In modern and knowledge-intensive industries, employees are often compensated with a mix of salary, options and bonuses linked to performance and to employees staying with the company for a certain period of time. Contracts with this type of performance-based compensation have been used in most of the world's most successful companies, not least in venture capital-financed IT companies, such as Google.
Forcing a straitjacket on these companies risks leading domestic top companies to move operations abroad. Fear of union attacks will also lead to foreign companies seeing Sweden as a less attractive investment country, and this in a situation where the image of Sweden has already been damaged by crime.
Why is the union acting like this when there are no clear winners? And why do you meet so little resistance from Swedish Business, which you think should support Tesla? As so often, it's about money. Today, over SEK 2,000 billion in pension and insurance funds are managed jointly by the unions and Swedish Business. Aftonbladet's Andreas Cervenka recently called this "The mafia scheme that threatens your pension". Through collective agreements, companies and their employees are forced into a system where most of it ends up in funds controlled by the trade union and Swedish Enterprise. Alecta alone manages a staggering 1,200 billion, with an additional 750 billion in AMF pension.
Continue…
Alecta has recently been in bad weather due to disaster investments in American banks and crisis-stricken Swedish real estate companies. On paper, it is difficult to understand why Alecta manages so much money despite these scandals. In a free market, bad managers should naturally be weeded out and outcompeted.
The reason is that the collective agreements make Alecta the automatic alternative for as many as 2.8 million Swedes. A similar arrangement exists between LO and AMF pension. Today, 72 percent of the employees' money concerned goes to Alecta and 80 percent to AMF-Pension, through what Andreas Cervenka called "a form of silent coercion".
Few Swedish employees have the courage to familiarize themselves with the complex system of occupational pension administration.In certain periods, Alecta has of course also had good returns, but in recent years it has fared significantly worse.Control over 2,000 billion kroner in the fund gives the union influence over the business world from behind, something that ironically echoes the wage-earner fund battle. Admittedly, this is a far softer control; no one believes that Alecta or AMF-pension are trying to control Swedish listed companies in detail. On the other hand, the system leads to inefficient management and, as a side effect, seems to make the union more aggressive in its attempts to force all companies to sign collective agreements, regardless of whether it benefits the employees or not.
Is it reasonable to pressure thousands to join the union's and Swedish Business Confederation's fund solutions through a strike? Few would question whether the union and Swedish Business Confederation create their own companies in competition with the free business world for pension money. They can do better, so why not? However, that is not what happened. Instead, competition has been put out of play with the help of collective agreements and strikes.Svenskt Näringsliv's role is to protect companies and entrepreneurs, but self-interest rarely lies. Therefore, an organization that claims to promote free enterprise supports what is in practice a monopoly backed by strike threats and collectivist labor legislation.
This type of concentration of power also breeds corruption. The winners are not the employees, but a relatively small number of bureaucrats and industry leaders who work for or sit on the board of LO, trade union organizations, Swedish Enterprise, Alecta or AMF-Pension.
The silent coercion of 2,000 billion in fund funds provides the opportunity to give each other generous terms, board assignments and strange agreements that increasingly lead to scandals in the business press. It also increases the risk of directly unsuitable investments, something not least Alecta has proven.For a long time this quasi-monopoly was too complex to really engage the public. Perhaps the union's clear overstepping in the completely unnecessary battle against Tesla can bring the subject up on the agenda? We will see the outcome, sooner or later…
For the first time ever, the Union has an opponent that has muscles ($$$$) and really high morals and ethics. This means for the first time in history that the unions have to give up and that the unions will face big problems in the future because of this.This war against Tesla will be the beginning of their end!
So, sorry
@ifmetall
but this fight you shouldn't have started, because you haven't done your homework of who you are fighting against!And the loser will be you, big time!
I'm just wondering if IF Metall, Sweden's biggest manufacturing union which is headed by Marie Nilsson, has been in contact with IG Metall, Germany's largest union which is headed by Christiane Benner, concerning Tesla??
And maybe the UAW as well??

Tesla workers should bow down and lick God Emperor Musk's boots for giving them jobs they don't deserve. They should be happy to have jobs at all, seeing how little they appreciate the smartest man in the world. Fire them all then move the factory to China, where it belongs, staffed by bright and happy Uyghurs.

Tesla sues Swedish agency as striking workers stop delivering license plates for its new vehicles
Tesla has filed a lawsuit against the Swedish state via Sweden’s Transport Agency after striking postal workers in the Scandinavian country stopped delivering license plates for new vehicles manufactured by the Texas-based automaker.
apnews.com
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Tesla on Monday filed a lawsuit against the Swedish state via Sweden’s Transport Agency as striking postal workers in the Scandinavian country halted the delivery of license plates of new vehicles manufactured by the Texas-based automaker.
Tesla is non-unionized globally, but the Swedish workers are demanding that the carmaker sign a collective bargaining agreement, which most employees in Sweden have. Tesla has no manufacturing plant in Sweden, but has several service centers.
Tesla said it was suing “the Swedish state through the Swedish Transport Agency” because not accessing the registration plates “constitutes an unlawful discriminatory attack directed at Tesla.”

Not really. They got an injunction allowing them to collect the plates while the lawsuit goes through the normal process. They could lose in the end, but that seems unlikely at this point.

They won't lose and the net result is that they are getting their license plates. Teslas's legal team has fired the first salvo and it will be interesting to see what they do next. The unions in Sweden are powerful, mostly because of their control of pension funds. However, the present Swedish government doesn't seem like they are enjoying what IF Metall is doing.

Either way, the legal question is pretty interesting. I haven't really seen cases like this where different unions from other sectors all gang up to target one company. The right to form unions within a company is very clearly protected in most countries, but not sure how legal it is for different unions in other companies to do something like this.
Apparently perfectly legal in Sweden. But other Nordic countries have restrictions against "sympathetic actions."
There was no injunction. They won the suit.

PostNord workers on Nov. 20 joined industrial action aimed at forcing Tesla to sign a collective bargain agreement for mechanics in Sweden, and the transport agency refused to deliver the plates by other means, saying it was contractually bound to use PostNord.
