"IF Metall's latest notice ordered a full work stoppage for all Tesla-related activity at Allround Lack. With the blockade in place, paint jobs on Tesla-owned vehicles, factory-warranty repairs, and transport-damage fixes, will be effectively frozen, as noted in a report from Dagens Arbete. While Allround Lack is a small paint shop, its work with Tesla means that the blockade would add challenges to the company's operations in Sweden, at least to some degree."
"Paint shop blockades have been a recurring tool in the longstanding conflict. The first appeared in late 2023, when repair shops were barred from servicing Tesla vehicles. Days later, the Painters' Union implemented a nationwide halt on Tesla paint work across more than 100 shops. Since then, a steady stream of workshops has been pulled into the conflict. Earlier blockades faced backlash from consumers."
IF Metall ordered a full work stoppage for all Tesla-related activity at Allround Lack in Gothenburg, halting paint jobs on Tesla-owned vehicles, factory-warranty repairs, and transport-damage fixes. Allround Lack employs about 20 people and performs painting and damage repair for passenger cars including Teslas. Paint shop blockades have recurred since late 2023, when repair shops were barred from servicing Tesla vehicles and a nationwide halt affected over 100 shops. The early blockades reduced revenue for some workshops—about ten members of Transportföretagen reportedly lost around half their income—and prompted criticism from consumers and industry groups.
