Tesla Versus Swedish Union Sparks Showdown Over Collective Bargaining
Tesla Versus Swedish Union Sparks Showdown Over Collective Bargaining
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares are trading higher on Tuesday. The EV behemoth, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, reportedly faces escalated tensions as Sweden's most prominent union backs a six-month-old strike by mechanics, amplifying disputes with organized labor, Reuters reported.
周二，特斯拉公司（纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA）股价走高。路透社报道，据报道，亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克旗下的电动汽车巨头面临紧张局势升级，因为瑞典最著名的工会支持机械师为期六个月的罢工，这加剧了与有组织劳工的争端。
The strike centers on Musk's refusal to sign a collective bargaining agreement, preventing the metal workers' union from negotiating for the entire workforce.
罢工的重点是马斯克拒绝签署集体谈判协议，这使金属工人工会无法就全体员工进行谈判。
Despite Musk's claim that the labor conflict had subsided, IF Metall maintains the strike persists, the report added.
报告补充说，尽管马斯克声称劳资冲突已经平息，但如果Metall坚持罢工仍在继续。
"The strike is ongoing and we have no signs of reaching an agreement in the near future," IF Metall head Marie Nilsson said.
IF Metall负责人玛丽·尼尔森说：“罢工仍在继续，我们没有迹象表明在不久的将来达成协议。”
"We have had a few sittings with the Swedish management during April, but ... Tesla has shown little willingness in discussing an end to the conflict," Reuters added.
“四月份，我们与瑞典管理层举行了几次会议，但是...特斯拉在讨论结束冲突时几乎没有表现出任何意愿，” 路透社补充说。
According to Reuters, approximately 44 union members, representing roughly one-third of Tesla's Swedish mechanics, have ceased work. Although Tesla does not manufacture vehicles in Sweden, it provides local servicing.
据路透社报道，大约44名工会成员已停止工作，约占特斯拉瑞典机械师的三分之一。尽管特斯拉不在瑞典生产汽车，但它提供本地服务。
Over a dozen unions have initiated actions in solidarity with IF Metall, with Unionen being the most recent and largest addition to the movement, the report added.
报告补充说，已有十几个工会发起了声援IF Metall的行动，其中Unionen是该运动的最新和最大的成员。
"It is fundamentally important to protect our collective agreement system," Martin Wastfeldt, head of negotiations at Unionen, told Reuters.
联盟谈判负责人马丁·瓦斯特费尔特告诉路透社：“保护我们的集体协议体系至关重要。”
Unionen initiated a blockade on Tuesday, halting all Tesla-related work at DEKRA Industrial AB, responsible for equipment inspections, according to Reuters.
据路透社报道，Unionen周二启动了封锁，停止了负责设备检查的DEKRA Industrial AB的所有与特斯拉相关的工作。
Should Tesla attempt to bypass the blockade by engaging alternative providers, Unionen is prepared to take further action, according to Wastfeldt, Reuters added.
路透社补充说，如果特斯拉试图通过聘请替代供应商来绕过封锁，Unionen准备采取进一步行动。
Though the striking figures in Sweden may be modest, the implications loom large, the report stated.
报告称，尽管瑞典的惊人数字可能不大，但其影响隐约可见。
While Elon Musk did not respond to the Reuters report directly, he poked fun at the company by posting a meme on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
尽管埃隆·马斯克没有直接回应路透社的报道，但他在社交媒体平台X（前身为Twitter）上发布了一个模因来取笑该公司。
