Tesla mechanics in Sweden out on strike again, flights from Stockholm hit July record, and more news from Sweden on Wednesday. Tesla mechanics working for the IF Metall union have renewed their strike at Tesla garages in Malmö, Umeå, Uppsala, Upplands Väsby, Segeltorp and Huddinge, starting from August 13th, after the union failed to reach an agreement with the electric car company's Swedish subsidiary. "Despite lengthy negotiations, we have unfortunately not managed to reach an agreement with TM Sweden AB. TM Sweden AB has given notice that they do not intend to sign a collective agreement for their operations," the union wrote to the Swedish Mediation Institute, according to the Dagens Arbete newspaper. The union temporarily paused the strike, which has been ongoing since October 2023, at several workshops in the spring, allowing roughly 40 mechanics to return to work. A record number of passengers used Stockholm Arlanda airport this July, as demand for overseas trips continued to grow at all of the ten airports run by Swedavia. The number of passengers rose one percent compared to July 2025, with about 2.5 million passengers. In total, 3.3 million passengers used Swedavia's ten airports in July this year, up two percent from July 2025. The pilot who was on board Misje Verde, the freight vessel that rammed a yacht outside the island of Tjörn in July, is now also suspected of manslaughter. The accident led to the death of a woman and child, with a man and child who were also on board surviving, with injuries.
