Tesla plants in Sweden are on strike. Around 130 mechanics from 10 workshops in seven cities in the Scandinavian country stopped work. They started on October 27 and are already on their way to being one month old. During all this time, Elon Musk He remained on the sidelines, until he recently broke his silence on this situation.
It was strange that he had not spoken, since the South African tycoon is usually involved in any number of topics through his social networks.
This intense strike is being organized by the IF Metall union. The strikers are asking for a 10% wage increase, as well as better working conditions, according to a review Emol.
The strike has also affected other workshops that offer services to Tesla, such as port workers, who have stopped unloading shipments from the electric car company run by Elon Musk.
What does Uncle Elon say about this whole problem? The CEO of Tesla spoke out through his X account, expressing that “this is crazy.” The South African tycoon is concerned that this strike will delay deliveries of new vehicles.
Elon Musk’s response was to a message from Nicklas Nilsson, a Tesla employee who had said: “The IF Metall strike against Tesla in the fight for a collective agreement has lasted almost a month, but work at Tesla facilities is still they continue. There are personnel who take care of the cars that arrive by truck and prepare them for delivery to the customer. Among other things, the license plates that normally arrive through Postnord are mounted.”
The strike is having a significant impact on Tesla’s operations in Sweden. The company has had to delay deliveries of new vehicles and has had to close some of its workshops.
It is unclear when the strike will be resolved. Both sides have been negotiating, but have so far been unable to reach an agreement.
