Today in Sweden: A Roundup of the Latest News on Wednesday
IF Metall said about 40 mechanics will return to work as the union renews its dispute after failing to secure a collective agreement.
Tesla mechanics in Sweden are resuming their strike at six garages after the IF Metall union failed to reach a collective agreement with the electric car company's Swedish subsidiary.
The Metall union had previously paused the strike, which has been ongoing since October 2023, at several workshops in the spring, allowing roughly 40 mechanics to return to work.
"Despite lengthy negotiations, we have unfortunately not managed to reach an agreement with TM Sweden AB," the union wrote to the Swedish Mediation Institute, per Dagens Arbete newspaper.
Renewed industrial action targets Tesla garages in Malmö, Umeå, Uppsala, Upplands Väsby, Segeltorp, and Huddinge, with the work stoppage scheduled to begin on August 13.
Tesla has formally notified the union that it does not intend to sign a collective agreement for its operations, sustaining the labor dispute that began last year.
The Norwegian People's Party (FRP) wants to allow municipalities to remove and relocate seagull nests. Environment Minister Andreas Bjelland Eriksen (Ap) understands the frustration, but does not believe in the proposal.
