Major investor’s call to Tesla: Get a deal

The total of 16 investors are “deeply concerned about the current conflict in Sweden”, according to the letter that Ekot has seen. – Tesla needs to comply with the rules that apply in countries where they have operations, says Kiran Aziz at Norway’s largest pension company KLP to Ekot. If the electric car manufacturer Tesla does not change its mind, it may be appropriate to sell the shares in the company and leave the part ownership, she says, but adds that it is a last resort. – It is a last chance, but we want the company to meet our expectations in the first place, says Kiran Aziz. The American electric car manufacturer does not want to sign a collective agreement in Sweden, and therefore a strike against the company has been going on since the end of October. Among the investors who have signed is Swedish Folksam, which, according to Ekot, does not want to comment on the letter further. The letter was recently sent to Tesla and in it the investors write that they are “deeply concerned about the current conflict in Sweden and Tesla’s attitude towards the right to collective agreements”. The investors demand a meeting with Tesla’s management to discuss the issue, but according to Kiran Aziz it is difficult to know if Tesla will listen and sign a collective agreement. – Then we will see what the answer and the response will be. ”, the letter says.
