As a Swede, this lawsuit is actually more interesting than it might seem. The issue at hand here is that a government agency is failing to provide the service it legally must provide (delivering licence plates), due to it's dependency on a private actor (postnord) which is refusing to make the deliveries due to a sympathy strike against Tesla. Trafikverket (the agency in question) is saying that they've fulfilled their legal obligations as they've delivered the plates to postnord, and Tesla quite understandably disagrees with this, as they're not getting any plates. IANAL but it seems to me that something is legally questionable here, but whether that is trafikverket refusing to let Tesla pick up the plates themselves, or if it's on postnord for, at least arguably, stealing mail, I don't know! (Since Tesla is asking to pick up the plates at trafikverket, I imagine they're willing to pick them up from whatever facility postnord is keeping them in, but postnord won't let them) Whatever your opinion on the morality of the suit,I don't think it's entirely clear-cut legally. Again, IANAL, so it might be to someone with legal literacy, but to this layman the outcome is far from obvious! The strike itself is very interesting as a Swede: very few Tesla employees seem interested in this strike, some have even openly criticised the union for misrepresenting them. That signals a huge loss of influence for the unions in Sweden, which are the be-all end-all to Swedish labour laws(we don't have legally mandated minimum wages, instead the unions are free to do.. Well what they're doing now basically) Some union reps are worried this might be the end of the Swedish model and that we might end up switching to legally enforced minimum wages and less powerful unions. How likely that is to happen I leave for you to decide. The low participation rate among Tesla employees has also led to some quite interesting sideeffects: some small repair shops are actually losing business to Tesla, since they don't dare deal with Tesla owners(and thus draw the ire of the unions) but since Tesla own shops are still operating, Tesla owners who need repairs are forced to go to those shops instead! It's interesting to see how intertwined and interdependent the economy is, where a strike against one company ends up negatively impacting some of its competitors (in the servicing cars market, not the building cars market) I'm the end, I really don't see how signing a collective agreement could possibly be worse for Tesla than all of this trouble. From a pure business perspective, it seems logical to just sign already.
