Tesla took legal action while CEO Elon Musk branded the move "insane," but a Swedish court ruled Thursday that PostNord will not be forced to deliver license plates for now.

Union members across a host of Swedish industries have joined the secondary strike action with members of trade union IF Metall, who have been embroiled in an ongoing battle with Tesla for around six weeks.

Earlier this week, Denmark's largest trade union announced its own sympathy strike to prevent Tesla cars being delivered to Danish ports and transported into Sweden.

Norway's largest private sector union then on Wednesday announced its intention to begin blocking vehicle shipments destined for Sweden from Dec. 20.

Finnish transport workers' union AKT on Thursday confirmed that a blockade on Tesla vehicles earmarked for Sweden would also come into force across all Finnish ports from Dec. 20.

AKT Chairman Ismo Kokko said collective agreements for workers were "an essential part of the Nordic labor market system," according to Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat.

PensionDanmark sold the shares at a market value of 476 million Danish kroner ($68.8 million), according to Reuters. »
