    The decision is literally only that NordPost needs to deliver the plates. Nothing else has been decided. Still no dock workers, electricians, cleaners, etc. only that plates must be delivered. Which doesn’t mean much if the vehicles aren’t being offloaded at your ports.

      PostNord will not deliver. Tesla are allowed to go and pick up the plates themselves from the manufacturer

        The court literally told them they need to. I’m on the worker’s side here, but the court said what they said.

          No, it is two different lawsuits. Tesla are allowed to temporarily pickup the plates themselves from the manufacturer. The lawsuit against PostNord is different, PostNord-union are still blocking deliveries, as they should.

            Ok, I think I see where I misunderstood what’s happening.

            … and the transport agency refused to deliver the plates by other means, saying it was contractually bound to use PostNord.

            However, Norrkoping district court ruled the agency must get the plates to Tesla within seven days or pay a fine of 1 million Swedish crowns

            So basically the transport agency says they are required to use PostNord, PostNord workers are refusing to deliver plates for Tesla for solidarity, and the court has said that the transport agency must deliver plates. I initially read it last night as PostNord was told they had to deliver the plates for the transport agency or face a fine, but that’s clearly not true after a second reading. Thanks for pointing that out!

            The question I have now is, if the transport agency of Sweden is contractually obligated to use PostNord, how do they get around this issue? I guess I would have assumed there’s an option for a business to retrieve their plates directly from the authority, but perhaps not? And what happens to plates that were already in PostNord’s possession? I’m looking forward to seeing how all of this plays out, and what other unions might join in.

              No worries! This whole thing is unprecedented, so misunderstandings are to be expected.

              Tesla gets around it, temporarily, by being allow by court to send their own people to pick up the plates at the manufacturer of the plates while the claim is being settled.

              I think the normal rutine for any postal company is to “return to sender” when unable to deliver, but that is just my guess. Edit: correction, PostNord keeps all the post that is mailed to Tesla. This goes beyond the licenses plates and includes other mail also, I assume only the license plates are regarded as business critical at this point for Tesla.

      Oy! That’s PostNord to you, not NordPost mister! Only we can call our shitty postal service a variety of slurs!

      So the workers of NordPost aren’t allowed to participate in this strike? Doesn’t seem right to me to take away this right from them.

        They absolutely are. Transportstyrelsen are the ones who need to find a way to deliver the plates or face fines. PostNord may be state owned but it’s still run like a company and the workers are union members.
