According to foreign media reports, the Swedish trade union IF Metal and its allies have been on strike against Tesla Sweden for more than a year.
Although the union is trying its best to stop Tesla’s operations, it turns out that Tesla’s vitality is extremely tenacious.
Regarding the current situation, Swedish trade union members expressed dissatisfaction with Tesla’s stubbornness.
After all, Tesla not only circumvented the union lockdown and strike, but sales were not affected.
Local media reported that 20,000 Tesla cars will enter Sweden in 2024.
Since November 7 last year, a sympathetic strike by the transport union has banned longshoremen from loading and unloading Tesla cars in Sweden’s southernmost port of Trelleborg.
, Image source: Tesla, however, has found a workaround by ferry to transport cars from Rostock, Germany, to Sweden and sometimes from Swinoujscie, Poland.
, Today, even despite the union blockade, thousands of Tesla cars still arrive in Sweden through Trelleborg every year.
Tesla used trucks to transport vehicles directly from ferries, a move reported that effectively circumvented a blockade of the dock by union workers.
IF Metall and the transportation union are considering completely preventing Tesla from using ferries to transport electric vehicles, but they will be restricted by maritime regulations.
, Jörgen Wärja, chairman of Trelleborg Transport, expressed dissatisfaction with Tesla Sweden, saying: “I think Tesla should be completely condemned.
This is bullshit.
We didn’t want to see any Tesla cars come here.
“, Anders Gustafsson, supervisor of transport port agreements, believes that the strike has affected Tesla at least to some extent.
He said: “Tesla is working at its best.
No docker in Sweden would touch a Tesla car.
So the blockade is effective.
The method the company currently uses is not the best way to transport cars.
Our blockade worked.
Tesla cannot transport cars in the normal way, which obviously greatly reduces their efficiency.
