Tesla fighting union(s) in Sweden (www.ifmetall.se)

Tesla is currently fighting against the union IF Metall in Sweden, where almost 90% of all metal workers are a part of the union. Sweden has a long history of unionization, it is deeply ingrained in swedish culture.

A strike was put in effect today, with 130 mechanics for Tesla shops.

The 7:th, the large transporting union will step in with a sympathy strike and refuse to deliver new Teslas in Sweden.

I'm more surprised that this started first in Sweden and not in Germany (where the Tesla Gigafactory is located).

Still, this doesn't bode well for Tesla-Europe. Europeans are much more careful about labor issues than USA is. I don't think Tesla can win by playing hardball over there.
