Tesla Ends Sweden's Longest Labor Strike at 1,021 Days by Buying Out Remaining Workers

3-line summary

• Swedish union IF Metall said it will call off its strike against Tesla on Aug. 19, ending the longest labor conflict in modern Swedish history at day 1,021, according to a Yahoo Finance report; Tesla never signed a collective bargaining agreement with the union.
• The strike ended after Tesla offered severance packages to every remaining striking member and enough accepted that IF Metall has no striking members left to represent; the union's core demand for a collective agreement remains unresolved.
• Sympathy actions across the Nordics are ending with it — Danish, Norwegian and Finnish dockworkers had blocked Sweden-bound Tesla cars, Sweden's postal service had stopped delivering license plates for new Teslas, and electricians had refused Tesla work; the dispute began with about 130 mechanics, while Tesla posted $28.2 billion in second-quarter revenue.
