Swedish Unions Escalate Tesla Strike, Target Charging Stations

The strike against Tesla in Sweden has expanded to include a blockade on charging stations, as more unions join the fight to enforce collective bargaining agreements.

• Swedish trade union SEKO announces a halt to maintenance and expansion of Tesla's charging stations in solidarity with IF Metall's ongoing strike.
• The strike, initiated by IF Metall in October, pressures Tesla to negotiate collective bargaining agreements, covering wages, benefits, and working conditions.
• Several unions, including port workers, electricians, and cleaning services, have joined the strike, affecting Tesla's operations in Sweden.
• The blockade on Tesla's charging stations is expected to disrupt the installation and repair of Superchargers, potentially impacting the company's long-term operations.
• Tesla's refusal to sign a collective agreement has sparked a larger conflict to protect Sweden's labor model, with the strike now involving almost a dozen unions.
