Tesla hiring Nordic policy expert as ‘WWE-like standoff’ with unions intensifies
KEY POINTS
- Danish, Finnish and Norwegian unions across a range of sectors have in recent weeks announced solidarity measures to pressure Tesla into granting collective bargaining rights to its Swedish staff.
- The company is seeking a “Nordics public policy” expert whose role will be to ensure that the “political, regulatory and fiscal frameworks” in the Nordics “support Tesla’s mission.”
- Dan Ives, managing director at Wedbush Securities, suggested the “WWE-like standoff” is increasingly becoming a “third rail” issue in Sweden and the wider region.
