This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tesla has lost a legal action against Sweden’s postal service as a dispute with Nordic trade unions escalates.
A Swedish court said on Thursday that PostNord did not, for the time being, need to deliver licence plates to the electric carmaker that were being blocked by the postal service’s workers, in the latest twist in a battle over collective bargaining agreements.
A large Danish pension fund on Wednesday said it would sell its holdings in Tesla because of the carmaker’s refusal to enter into such deals, while Denmark’s largest trade union has joined strike action by the company’s workers in Sweden.
Nordic countries represent key markets for Tesla, which has a policy of not agreeing to collective bargaining and has said its staff have as good or better terms than those that IF Metall is demanding.
In a case related to the PostNord action, a court on 27 November ruled that the Swedish Transport Agency must find a way to get licence plates to Tesla.
Some Swedish pension funds have urged Tesla to sign the agreement with the union, but have so far held off from selling their shares.
