The union on Tesla's new signage approach: "Stubbornly ideological"
Efter Teslas nederlag i Högsta domstolen tar nu företaget frågan till förvaltningsrätten. "Inte affärsmässigt", enligt fackförbundet ST.
A gentle reminder that the union and Tesla are still fighting in #Sweden.
Translation by Google.
After Tesla's defeat in the Supreme Court, the company is now taking the issue to the administrative court. It is "sad" that the company is spending millions in legal proceedings rather than providing the same conditions as the rest of the industry, according to the ST union.
Tesla's legal battle to persuade the Swedish Transport Agency to break the blockade and hand over the license plates seemed over. But after the case went through all the courts and was thrown out by the Supreme Court, the company is now appealing to the Administrative Court in Karlstad instead.
– I'm not surprised, but I'm still a little disappointed. Are these processes going to continue forever?, says Joakim Lindqvist, union lawyer at the ST union.
Since November 2023, ST and Seko have blocked Tesla's mail in sympathy with IF Metall's demand for a collective agreement with the company. This had the effect that the license plates that Tesla needs from the Swedish Transport Agency to put new Tesla cars into service got stuck in the system.
But while Tesla and the unions are playing a cat-and-mouse game with alternative addresses that the union then blocks, Tesla is pursuing the issue in the country's courts.
Now they are demanding that the administrative court in Karlstad force the Swedish Transport Agency to hand over the plates directly to the company.
"How the provision should be practically implemented so that the license plates reach Tesla is, according to Tesla, a question that the Swedish Transport Agency can appropriately take a position on," Tesla writes in the appeal, according to Dagens Arbete, which was first to report on the new process.
The Swedish Transport Agency does not want to break the blockade So far, the Swedish Transport Agency has not filed a response, but in the district court, the court of appeal, and thus also the Supreme Court, the authority's position has been that they cannot make exceptions to the procedures for Tesla.
You're viewing a single thread.
It's very unusual in Sweden for the unions or the employers to take a staunch ideological stance instead of finding common ground, which is why this conflict really sticks out.
It's long since expected that the parties would have reached an understanding by now; instead, Tesla keeps trying to circumvent the situation while dragging out a losing process in court .
Both parties lose, which is why it makes little sense.
This is about Muskyboi's hurt widdle feefees, not about any actual issue. He just can't admit to be wrong and cannot accept losing.
There absolutely is an issue. The union wants Tesla to join the collective agreement in Sweden like all major companies and Tesla disagrees. There is room for understanding from both sides.
Which middle ground is there between being in a collective agreement or outside of it?
The only hypothetical i would see it being in it, but with "special conditions", think the UK pre Brexit. But that is not in the interest of everyone else in the collective agreement
The collective agreements in question are optional to join though, and the actual employees it would cover don't seem to want it. Otherwise they could join the union and strike themselves
They do Strike. Would you please Stop lying?
The union told Reuters that about 44 of its members - roughly a third of Tesla's Swedish mechanics - had downed tools at the company, which does not produce vehicles in Sweden but services them locally.
33% is a Lot for a conflict that goes on that Long. Clearly everyone is very happy with their Lord and Savior Musk
Or are you a paid anti-Union-Shill?
So one third opted to get full pay to do nothing and two thirds opted to not strike? Not a lot of support for the union...
That's not how it works lol
Your name is funny when you drop stuff like this 😁
