Sweden Mediation Institute throws in the towel on Tesla vs IF Metall union conflict
"The state-run Mediation Institute, which had been involved early in the strike, confirmed this week that it was officially closing the case. The two parties have had several meetings, but neither side has been able to come to an agreement. Director General Irene Wennemo described the effort as unprecedented in difficulty in a comment to Ekot. "We have tried in every possible way to get the parties to come closer to each other in a way that allows this conflict to end.""
"The mediators noted in their final report that Tesla Sweden had limited authority in the talks, with key decisions appearing to rest with executives in the United States. The situation, they stated, created barriers to compromise that made the conflict 'unlike anything else.' Tesla has maintained throughout that its Swedish workers already receive strong benefits and protections without the need for a formal collective agreement, as noted in a CarUp report."
IF Metall launched a strike against Tesla Sweden 677 days ago to press for a collective agreement. The state-run Mediation Institute officially closed its case after multiple meetings failed to produce an agreement. Tesla Sweden maintained that its working conditions and benefits already exceed union standards and declined to sign a collective agreement. Mediators reported that key decisions appeared to rest with Tesla executives in the United States, limiting Tesla Sweden's authority and hindering compromise. IF Metall indicated willingness to consider alternative solutions while preserving a signed collective agreement as the preferred outcome.
