London CNN —Danish dockworkers and drivers are threatening to stop transporting Teslas to neighboring Sweden if the carmaker does not reach a deal with striking Swedish workers within two weeks.
It is the first time a labor union outside of Sweden has threatened industrial action against Tesla in solidarity with the Swedish workers.
“IF Metall and the Swedish workers are fighting an incredibly important battle right now.
About nine out of 10 workers in Sweden and more than eight in 10 in Denmark are covered by such agreements.
At least three attempts to organize by Tesla workers in the United States have failed, mainly as a consequence of aggressive tactics by the company and weak protections for labor in the country.
