The strike covers all of Tesla’s own workshops in Sweden. In total, approximately 130 employees in seven locations are affected, according to the union.
“It will be noticeable on Friday morning when the workshops open,” says Jesper Pettersson, press officer at IF Metall.
The demand from the union is that the company should sign a collective agreement, which would give the workshop staff the same conditions as their colleagues in the industry.
However, Tesla refuses to sign a collective agreement, according to IF Metall, on the grounds that the company does not do so anywhere in the world.
Tesla Sweden’s communications manager Maria Lantz has chosen not to provide any comments to TT.
