The Associated Press<\/em> reported<\/a> Monday that Tesla, which delivered over 9,000 EVs to Swedish customers in 2022, described the actions of The Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) as a \u201cunique attack\u201d on the US company. Tesla\u2019s lawsuit reportedly urges a district court to fine the Swedish Transport Agency 1 million kronor (US$95,803) while allowing Tesla to \u201cretrieve license plates.\u201d The registrations are held up because workers at state-owned postal service PostNord stopped supplying the plates to Tesla after its workers joined the strike.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit allegedly claims the Swedish Transport Agency refused the automaker\u2019s request to pick up the license plates itself or, failing that, send them through a different channel. Reuters<\/em> reports<\/a> Tesla filed two lawsuits: one against the Swedish Transport Agency and another against PostNord.<\/p>\n

In a statement to Engadget, Swedish Transport Agency spokesperson Ann-Sofie Masth confirmed the lawsuit and revealed the court\u2019s interim decision. \u201cThe Swedish Transport Agency has now received an interim decision from the Norrk\u00f6ping district court to consent within 7 days to Tesla collecting license plates directly from our sign manufacturer. It appears from the decision that our sign manufacturer has announced that it is prepared to provide the signs directly to Tesla, provided that the Swedish Transport Agency agrees to this. We at the Swedish Transport Agency now need to analyze the announcement and assess what consequences this has for us and what measures might need to be taken to implement the decision. It is currently too early to say exactly what that would mean.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tesla, not exactly a union-friendly company, has a policy against signing collective bargaining agreements, claiming its employees already have equal or better terms than what the union proposed. The argument that it takes good enough care of its employees to void the need for a union echoes one Tesla CEO Elon Musk made in 2017<\/a> when accused of allegations of poor working conditions and low pay at the company\u2019s Fremont, CA factory.<\/p>\n

IF Metall, Sweden\u2019s most prominent manufacturing union, began striking on October 27. Although Tesla doesn\u2019t have a manufacturing plant in the country, it has several service centers, which stopped working on Tesla vehicles after going on strike. Other unions in the Nordic nation, including dockworkers, cleaners and electricians, have joined the strike in an act of unity. A component maker joined the unions<\/a> on Friday in a sympathy action.<\/p>\n

In Tesla\u2019s court filing, the company reportedly described the decision as \u201ca unique attack on a company operating in Sweden,\u201d claiming the refusal to deliver the license plates would affect \u201ca large number of consumers who ordered a new car from Tesla.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement to The AP<\/em>, an IF Metall representative said, \u201cWe are doing this for the sake of our members, to ensure that they have safe working conditions.\u201d A Swedish Transportation Agency spokesperson reportedly told Reuters<\/em>, \u201cWe at the Swedish Transport Agency do not share this view and therefore Tesla has decided to have the issue tested in court, which is their right.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
