Tesla takes sign dispute to new court

Tesla got the nob all the way to the Supreme Court. But the electric car giant is not giving up. Now the company wants the administrative court in Karlstad to compel the Swedish Transport Agency to somehow hand over the license plates to Tesla, writes the newspaper Dagens Arbete.

The background is that the unions put up a blockade against the postal companies that send out the signs to the American electric car company.

The one legal track that ends with the Supreme Court rejected all of Tesla’s appeals. The company then chooses to go through the administrative courts.

The primary conflict between IF Metall and Tesla has been going on since October 2023. The union demands that the company sign a collective agreement.
