Kommunal enters the conflict against Tesla
Even Kommunal warns in the conflict against Tesla. At the beginning of next year, the association will stop collection of household waste.
Now Kommunal is also joining IF Metall’s conflict against Tesla. The union announces sympathy measures to increase the pressure on the car giant to sign a collective agreement.
- The employees at Tesla have Kommunal’s support behind them, says Malin Ragnegård, chairman, Kommunal in a press release.
On January 2, Kommunal stops the collection of household waste at Tesla’s operations in Örebro and Mölndal. The work is also blocked so that no one else can go and do it.
- Without a collective agreement, the employer gets free leeway to dictate the terms alone - exactly what Tesla is looking for. While other companies compete with knowledge and attractive terms, Tesla wants to slip into its own lane and draw up its own rules. They can forget that. That’s not how the Swedish labor market works, says Malin Ragnegård.
Transport also stops garbage collection Yesterday, Transport also announced that the association will stop all handling of waste at all Tesla workshops in Sweden starting on Christmas Eve.
- This type of sympathy measures are very unusual. Now we are resorting to them to defend security with collective agreements and the Swedish labor market model. Tesla cannot ignore the norm in the Swedish labor market, says Tommy Wreeth, Transport’s confederation chairman, in a press release.
Transport has previously blocked the handling of Tesla cars in Swedish ports. For Kommunal’s part, the garbage blockade will be the first measure of sympathy in the Tesla conflict.
