Tesla has filed a lawsuit against the Swedish state via Sweden’s Transport Agency after striking postal workers in the Scandinavian country stopped delivering license plates for new vehicles manufactured by the Texas-based automaker
They tendered a contract and this postal service won it, this postal service is taking part in industrial action which is their right and the agency has fulfilled it’s obligation in creating and issuing the plate. The agency can’t go around the company they have agreed will be their sole postal service.
If the postal service is saying no deliveries until the strike ends and they are housing the packages at a non public place then no, that’s a delivery if they manage and facilitate the receiving of the goods.
Yes the government should be able to, it’s how business is done. We agree a price on the grounds that we will not have to compete for the business for x number of years. As for should the government be interfering, I’m sure they would in some backwards countries but strong unions exist for the people. A government that facilitates strong unions would know not to.

Is allowing direct pick ups going around? They would still be the sole postal delivery service?
Should the government be able to enter into such a contract with such restrictions that can inhibit their obligations, even in non strike situations?
I think it’s a legal question worth getting answered.
