Earlier this week, the electric car giant Tesla sued the Swedish state and Postnord, because Postnord did not deliver license plates to Tesla. The reason was that Postnord’s postmen are on a sympathy strike against Tesla in the ongoing conflict with IF Metall.
“Postnord’s position in a conflict that we are basically outside of, has been that the right to strike is constitutionally protected and therefore applies over and above the distribution obligation in the Postal Act,” writes Postnord in a press release.
Tesla said in its lawsuit that Postnord’s actions constitute a “targeted and unlawful attack against Tesla”, and wrote, among other things, that the company has “seized shipments”, which the car company calls “closest to system-threatening”.
Postnord describes Tesla’s comments as “out of touch with reality”.
Postnord’s obligations will now be decided in the Solna District Court.
