I am not familiar with Swedish law but I doubt it is legal to refuse to distribute mail whether at service provider level or at employee level. At employee level it would be for Postnord to take action but at service provider level (Postnord) then maybe (?) they have a point that the state/regulator should intervene. Now, if on the other hand what is happening is perfectly legal then perhaps the famed Swedish model has gone too far...

  Are you telling me that refusing to distribute mail is legal in Sweden? In most, if not all EU countries that would not be on several levels as per my previous comment. So please at least try to write something substantive... Edit: In fact it looks like this is indeed a breach of at least EU law: "The universal service obligation (USO) is the core of the Postal Services Directive (97/67/EC, amended by Directives 2002/39/EC and 2008/6/EC). This is the requirement that letters and parcels should be delivered to each home or business premises, on 5 days each week, throughout each EU country (with exemptions)."

    It's called “civil disobedience” and sometimes it's the only way for people to leverage some sort of power.

    Do you really believe that a couple of sentences summarize accurately and completely three different EU directives? Have you checked them all to be sure that industrial action isn't covered by an exception? I doubt it.

    PostNord is prevented from fulfilling this obligation by the lawful strike carried out by workers. The right to strike would be practically meaningless if employers could just sidestep it by replacing strikers with non-unionized workers, so the laws have been constructed to prevent this. Think of it as force majeure.
