    Wow, good luck with trying to apply US tactics in Swedish society.

    Suing will not get you anywhere except ridiculed.

    The right to protest is protected by the equivalent of constitutional law.

    But then on the other hand, you have “granted” yourself a “carte blanche” to exit the Swedish market afterwards.

    “We did everything we could, we even sued the state but to no avail”

        Nope. It hasn’t been decided yet. The court ordered that Tesla is allowed to collect the license plates them selves from the manufacturer. It is a temporary order for the duration of the hearings.

        As Johandea wrote it it’s a temporary “work around” that has been put in place during the time the case will be decided upon. The workers in question (union members within the postal services, and all others) are still on strike.

        I have a hard time seeing that they will ever win over the unions in court and that the court will deem the strike illegal and force unions that are on strike to revoke it.

        As said, (sorry but I miss wrote “protest”) the right to strike is defended by law.
