IF Metall Ends Its Nearly Three-Year Strike Against Tesla in Sweden
- IF Metall announced on 13 August 2026 that it would end all industrial action against Tesla's Swedish companies from 00:01 on Wednesday 19 August[1]
- The union said Tesla had bought out all of its striking members at the company, so the conflict no longer had any effect; TT put the number at about 80 people[1][2]
- The strike began in October 2023 at Tesla's Swedish service centres to force a collective agreement, and grew into blockades at independent workshops and sympathy action by postal, dock and electrical workers[3]
- Negotiating secretary Simon Petersson said Tesla would rather buy out union members than give them secure terms, calling its strike-breaking methods unheard of in Sweden since the 1930s[1]
- 'We lost this fight,' chair Marie Nilsson told SVT, while insisting Tesla should still have a collective agreement in future[2]
- Tesla said it had used its legal right not to sign a collective agreement[4]
- The strike ends without a collective agreement at Tesla in Sweden; IF Metall said support from other unions in Sweden and abroad had been solid throughout[1][3]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
