Norway union joins Tesla blockade in support for Swedish workers

Swedish unions led by IF Metall have taken industrial action against Tesla since October to try to force the U.S. electric vehicle maker to sign collective bargaining agreements with mechanics.

Dockworkers in Sweden already refuse to unload Tesla cars arriving by ship, and broad groups of Swedish electricians, cleaners, postal workers and at least one maker of auto components also said they would deny the company their services.

After Denmark joined the strikes in solidarity, Norway's largest private sector labour union also joined to support. The union told, it would start blocking transit shipments of Tesla cars meant for the Swedish market as of December, 20th.
