Tesla is looking for all the assistance it may well get.
According to a job posting on Tesla’s web site, the electrical car maker needs a Scandinavian public coverage professional with a “passion for Tesla’s mission,” who will be certain that the “political, regulatory and fiscal frameworks of the ‘Nordics’ support Tesla’s mission.”
Whoever takes the job should reckon with the labor battle between Tesla and the Nordic area.
The battle started in late October when a handful of Tesla mechanics joined the Swedish labor union IF Metall. After Tesla refused to signal a collective settlement with the union, the machinists went on strike.
Other labor unions in Sweden quickly launched sympathy strikes, with transport, mail and waste unions agreeing to cease servicing Tesla.
Since Tesla nonetheless refused to barter with the union, laborers throughout the Nordic nations launched sympathy strikes in opposition to Tesla.
The strikes present no indicators of stopping, with Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk, having little to say publicly in regards to the problem. Mr. Musk has been overtly anti-union for years, just lately insisting that unions create a “lords and peasants” state of affairs.
