The Swedish union gave Tesla a strike discover final month, stating that round 120 mechanics on the firm’s seven workshops nationwide would be a part of the strike.
“The principle motive for IF Metall to take industrial motion at Tesla is to make sure that our members have respectable and secure working situations. Over an extended time frame, we have now tried to debate the signing of a collective settlement with Tesla, but with out success. Now we see no answer aside from to take industrial motion,” IF Metall stated in a public assertion.
Tesla Sweden is below strict order from Elon Musk to chorus from signing a collective settlement. The auto firm has been working all through the strike. Tesla Sweden has been caught between a rock and a tough place since IF Metall’s strike started. Whereas a collective settlement is the norm in Sweden, getting into into one doesn’t look like obligatory.
Tesla workers in Sweden have spoken in opposition to IF Metall and its want for a collective settlement. At IF Metall’s first try to prepare a strike in opposition to Tesla in October, staff refused to hitch. In a current assertion, Tesla shared that over 90% of its staff haven’t joined IF Metall’s strike.
Final week, the battle between IF Metall and Tesla Sweden hit a head when Postnord refused to ship the auto firm’s new license plates for anticipated electrical automobile deliveries.
