Tesla Sues Swedish Government in Move Related to Mechanics Strike -- Update

Tesla is suing the Swedish Transport Agency to receive new-car
registration tags directly, rather than through the mail, in a move
related to a mechanics strike in the Scandinavian country.
Transportstyrelsen spokesman Mikael Anderson said Monday that
the agency hasn't seen the lawsuit but confirmed it was filed in a
district court.
Swedish media reported last week that the U.S. electric-car
maker wants to collect registration plates for new vehicles rather
than receive them through the mail, because postal workers are
blocking their delivery in solidarity with striking Tesla
mechanics. On X, formerly known as Twitter, Tesla Chief Executive
Elon Musk called the news "insane."
"Tesla believes that the Swedish Transport Agency does not meet
the requirement to provide registration plates to newly registered
vehicles in Sweden," Anderson said. "We 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."
Union IF Metall wants Tesla to sign a collective bargaining
agreement, union spokesman Jesper Pettersson told the Wall Street
Journal earlier this month. The agreement would set the foundation
for wage, pension, and working-condition assurances, he said. It
would also ensure that workers wouldn't strike again for an agreed
upon period of time.
About 130 employees are spread across seven Tesla facilities, he
said, but wouldn't say how many were on strike.
Tesla didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
