    Three days later, on November 20, the Seko union, which represents postal workers, will stop delivering letters, spare parts, and pallets to all of Tesla’s addresses in Sweden.

    It seems troubling that there aren’t regulations in place requiring postal workers to deliver mail indiscriminately.

    What if the postal union decided not to deliver mail-in ballots they thought might support a policy they disagreed with, for example?

      Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, but the postal thing has already happened during the USA 2020 election.

        Hi, can you clarify what you mean or provide a source? I’m not away of any widespread examples of this but it could be that I’m misunderstanding or misremembering.

          The Trump government shut down automated mail sorting machines, cut overtime for workers (so if they weren’t keeping up with the workload, they’d just stop delivering mail instead of working a longer shift), replaced a bunch of air mail delivery routes with road ones, added delays to re-delivery attempts when a letter couldn’t be delivered and removed mail collection boxes.

          Supposedly all of this would “improve the efficiency” of the postal service. Yeah right.
