Elon Musk whines about 'insane' Swedish strikes against Tesla

Twitter CEO Elon Musk is not pleased that workers in Sweden are conducting solidarity strikes aimed at piling pressure on Tesla workplaces in Scandinavia's largest country.

As Yahoo Finance reports, the intra-union strike against Tesla facilities in Sweden has now spread to include dockworkers, garbage collectors, electricians and postal workers, which has left these facilities without access to basic services including mail delivery and trash pickup.

As Yahoo Finance explains, the postal workers strike against Musk's Swedish shops is particularly damaging because "it’s preventing the Swedish Transport Agency from delivering license plates to new Tesla cars as regulations allow no other delivery than by post."

"This is insane," Musk wrote on Twitter in response to news about the spreading strike against his firm.

And Musk's troubles in Scandinavia may not just be limited to Sweden.

The Guardian reports that "the Tesla strike has attracted secondary action from eight other unions and is threatening to spread to neighbouring Norway, where Fellesförbundet (the United Federation of Trade Unions), the country’s largest private sector union, said it was prepared to take sympathy action."

Shawn Fain, the president of the United Auto Workers, has pledged to make unionizing Tesla facilities in the United States a major goal of his union, which recently scored a major contract with America's "Big Three" auto manufacturers.
