Recently, the media has been busy reporting on Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine as well as Israel's efforts to find its kidnapped citizens in Gaza. This combined with the fact that nothing actually happens with the power struggle between IF Metall and Tesla Sweden Motor AB (TM) means that the news value is minimal.
None of the strike action that IF Metall and their sympathizing colleagues subjected TM to has had any impact on their operations. Instead, TM has eliminated all the problems caused by the strike action and it is business as usual.
If TM were to enter into a Swedish collective agreement, it could mean requirements to enter into similar agreements in countries that are not as arranged as Sweden.
IF Metall has made this strike a symbol of their defense of "the Swedish model". To then give up the strike against TM would be an enormous loss of prestige.
The best outcome would be if the power struggle disappears from the news feed for an extended period of time, so that one side can back off a little stealthily and not appear as a loser.
