Tesla is facing a major challenge in Sweden as the company battles against unionization and faces a blockade at Swedish ports.
Reports indicate that all Tesla shipments arriving by sea are being blocked from being unloaded at Swedish ports, and more key suppliers are taking action against the U.S. electric vehicle maker in sympathy with the strike initiated by manufacturers union IF Metall. The growing labor movement against Tesla has also seen the company's trash bins left uncollected and mail services halted as unions.
Notably, a poll conducted of 120 Swedish companies with fleets of 100 or more company cars said they would pause or completely stop buying Tesla vehicles because of the current conflict over collective bargaining agreements. The issue is also political in Sweden, with center-right government minister Johan Pehrson joining politicians to the left and right in saying Tesla would benefit from joining the Swedish labor market model. Tesla is also a target of the United Auto Workers union in the U.S., although industry insiders see those efforts as having little chance of succeeding. Looking ahead, Tesla is on Seeking Alpha's Catalyst Watch for the week ahead, with the electric vehicle giant holding an event at the Gigafactory in Austin to mark the first official deliveries of the long-awaited Cybertruck.
