    Sweden: Tesla CEO, Mr. Elon Musk, has denounced “insane” strikes on Swedish Tesla workshops, where workers are calling for collective bargaining rights.

    Mr. Musk expressed his disapproval by writing on X, saying, “This is insane.” In response to a social media post, he discussed how Swedish postal services are experiencing secondary strikes, also known as sympathy strikes, which are stopping licence plates from being delivered to new Tesla vehicles.

    The US automaker’s employees are on strike for the first time, as per the statement. The trade union IF Metall has been leading a five-week strike at eight Tesla workspaces across Sweden in what has been described as the biggest battle in decades to protect Sweden’s union model from international labour practices.

    With over 300,000 members in the Swedish industry, IF Metall has declared that it will “keep going for as long as needed.” The statement said that it took action after Tesla declined to sign a collective bargaining agreement with its members.

    One of the main tenets of Sweden’s labour market model is collective agreements, which address issues like pay, pensions, working hours, and holidays and theoretically allow employers and unions to control the labour market rather than the government.

    Despite a decline in recent years, a large number of workers in Sweden remain members of unions, with roughly 90 percent of workers having collective agreements.

    Eight other unions have joined the Tesla strike, and it is threatening to spread to neighbouring Norway. There, the largest private sector union in the nation, Fellesförbundet (the United Federation of Trade Unions), declared that it was ready to take sympathy action.
