"IF Metall announced a new sympathy strike halting all Assa Abloy services for Tesla, set to take effect November 4, according to Dagens Arbete (DA). The move is aimed at further pressuring Tesla into signing a collective agreement after nearly two years of ongoing labor conflict. The sympathy strike will block Assa Abloy's 330 employees across six Swedish facilities from servicing or maintaining locks and gates used at Tesla Sweden's sites. IF Metall hopes the measure will disrupt Tesla's daily operations and highlight the growing solidarity among Swedish companies."
"Assa Abloy becomes the latest in a line of firms drawn into the dispute, with the Swedish Mediation Institute now logging fourteen conflict notices since September. The escalation shows that unions and partner industries are aligning to support of IF Metall's campaign to secure a collective bargaining deal, something Tesla has consistently resisted. "I can certainly understand that Elon Musk and Tesla are skeptical of the trade union movement," Nilsson said. "They have experience with American unions that operate in a completely different environment and that have to be militant in a different way.""

IF Metall launched the measure to increase pressure on Tesla to sign a collective agreement after nearly two years of labor conflict. The Swedish Mediation Institute has recorded fourteen conflict notices since September as unions and partner industries align with IF Metall. IF Metall chair Marie Nilsson contrasted Sweden's cooperative union model with more adversarial American unions and urged Tesla Sweden to reconsider its stance on organized labor.
