The electric carmaker has asked the courts to impose a fine of $96,000 if Sweden fails to ensure license plates for new cars. Organized labor is not only hurting Musk's business in Sweden, but also in Germany.
government issues license plates and tries to send them via mail to Tesla
workers strike and don’t deliver mail to Tesla, which means license plates don’t arrive at Tesla - and only specifically at Tesla
government has an exclusive contract, that only allows them to use that one postal service, so they can’t provide an alternative (assuming the workers there wouldn’t strike, too)
government doesn’t allow pick up of license plates
Tesla challenges the very last point - Why can no one (not only Tesla) just go and pick them up? Why is there a need to explicitly mail them?
No, but I will admit that Tesla should be allowed to go and physically collect the licence plates themselves. Otherwise it would be like the government is encouraging the strike which is not ideal when they shouldn’t be involved at all.
As far as I know the situation is:

Yeah, and they use that specific postal company because it’s the biggest in Sweden and is government owned.

And a court also decided that yesterday.
No it doesnt, it’s not law. That’s just how they decided to do it, and is why Tesla just won an injunction forcing them to allow pickup
