Tesla is trying to find all the assistance it could possibly get.

In accordance with a job posting on Tesla’s web site, the electrical automobile maker desires a Scandinavian public coverage professional with a “ardour for Tesla’s mission,” who will ensure that the “political, regulatory and financial frameworks of the ‘Nordics’ assist 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.

Different 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 international locations launched sympathy strikes towards Tesla.

The strikes present no indicators of stopping, with Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk, having little to say publicly concerning the concern. Mr. Musk has been overtly anti-union for years, just lately insisting that unions create a “lords and peasants” scenario.
