Tesla owner Elon Musk called Swedish postal workers’ decision to join an ongoing strike against the company “insane” as the carmaker attempts to stave off calls for unionization in the country.
The strike against the company began on October 27 with 130 mechanics protesting against a Tesla subsidiary that refused to recognize their labor union. On Monday, the Service and Communications Employees’ Union (Seko) announced that all mail and parcel delivery and collection to Tesla sites in the country would be halted. The postal workers’ strike prevents the Swedish Transport Agency from delivering license plates to Tesla vehicles as regulations prohibit delivery of the plates by any means other than post.
