    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. “Tesla is trying to gain competitive advantages by giving the workers worse wages and conditions than they would have with a collective agreement,” said Seko’s union president, Gabriella Lavecchia, in a statement. “It is of course completely unacceptable.”

    Interesting that it is legal to withhold mail. In many countries that would be a crime.

      There are many ways to legally do this. They may just adhere to regulations more strictly. Where before they would bend the rules to help out.

      They might just schedule Tesla’s mail for the end of the day and be extra “careful” that day. Oops, there wasn’t enough time to deliver their mail! Maybe after a few days of a customer’s mail building up, there’s a rule saying the customer has to come in and get it themselves. Following all the rules exactly will fuck up any system because they are rarely created with overall productivity in mind.
