As there has been some misinformation circling around I just want to inform that the Swedish Tesla strike is still ongoing and without any show that the unions are giving up or backing out.

IF Metall has been on strike at Tesla's Swedish service points and workshops since October 27, 2023. Today, 1st September 2025 marks 671 days of strike.

Tesla strike update:

Tesla has declared that they have no intention to come back to the table

The strike is ongoing and from the 15th november all work and service by electricians on Teslas charging stations is struck.

From the 17th november The Building Maintenance workers union has struck all work on several Tesla fascilities.

The president of the swedish trade union confederation, Susanna Gideonsson, says that if Tesla refuses to sign a collective agreement they'll be kicked out of the country

(And once again, sorry for all spelling and grammar mistakes)

By the way, if someone wonders the Tesla strike is still in full swing in Sweden and the unions are still standing strong without buckling. This is a reminder that real changes often take long time and need good planning and organisation. Who will win this fight is still hard to forsee, as it in the end will be up to Musks ego how much money he is willing to bleed over it.

And here's Finland joining the strike against Tesla!

The finnish trade union AKT has joined the strike actions. Starting dec 20th, they will block the transport of Tesla cars to Sweden.

This means that's there is no way for Tesla to get their new cars from the factory to the swedish market.

More updates on the Tesla strike:

The swedish union for service and communication employees has called for solidarity actions. Starting on the 20th nov they will refuse to deliver post and parcels to Tesla fascilities.

We hope that a sucessful strike against Tesla here in Sweden can help the union IG Metal in Germany to bargain for a collective agreement for the workers at the Tesla gigafactory in Berlin-Brandenburg.
