Electric vehicle maker Tesla (TSLA) faces mounting union pressure in the Nordic region as it lost its case against Swedish postal service PostNord and dockworkers in Finland said they would join a port blockade.

A Swedish court ruled that PostNord is not obligated to deliver license plates to Tesla while a labor dispute between the postal service and its workers continues. Last month, Tesla sued the Swedish Transport Agency an🦩dꦗ PostNordAB after workers r🍎efused to deܫliver license plates for new vehicles.

Separately, Finnish Transport Workers' union AKT said it would join other unions taking action against Tesla. Starting Dec. 20, dockers will not load Tesla vehicles or components destined for Sweden, blockading the EV maker's imports at all ports.

These latest moves add to growing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:union pressure against Tesla, which has not signed collective agreements with autoworkers that are common in the region. Since Oct. 27, the Swedish trade union IF Metall has rallied support from other unions in a push for a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:collective bargaining agreement with the EV maker.

Other than IF Metall, Sweden's transport workers' union Seko, which represents service and communications workers, a union of civil servants, an electricians' union, a building maintenance workers' union, and a musicians' union are among those supporting the strike against Tesla in Sweden.

Fellesforbundet, Norway's biggest union,  Denmark's 3F labour union, and PensionDanmark, have also joined in sympathy strikes.

Tesla's stock price was 0.1% higher at $243.10 as of about 10 a.m. ET on Friday. It has more than doubled in value so far this year.
