Samsung Electronics' Indian unit has filed a lawsuit against members of a labor union that has been leading an 11-day strike at its only home appliances plant in India. The lawsuit seeks a temporary injunction to restrain the union and its members from agitating near the Chennai factory. The strike, which includes hundreds of workers demanding higher wages and union recognition, has disrupted operations. The labor unrest poses challenges for Samsung and casts a shadow over India's plan to attract more foreign investment for its "Make in India" initiative.

Tesla strike in Sweden continues, union says, contradicting Elon Musk

The strike by Tesla mechanics in Sweden is ongoing and continues to disrupt operations, despite Elon Musk claiming that the storm is over. The strike has garnered attention from investors and has caused Tesla to find alternative ways to run its operations. The strike is supported by various other unions, such as postal workers and garbage collectors, who have refused to handle Tesla business. IF Metall, the union representing the mechanics, remains locked in a dispute with Tesla. Investors, including Norway's wealth fund and Swedish pension funds, have raised concerns about the strike and have urged Tesla to adopt a policy on respecting rights to collective bargaining. Tesla's Model Y remained the best-selling car in Sweden in the first quarter of 2024, but overall registrations declined by 8% year-on-year. The strike has affected Tesla's operations, leading to changes in how cars are brought into Sweden and requiring Tesla employees to handle waste and garbage themselves at the workshops. The Transport Workers' Union believes Tesla is bypassing the blockade by using trucks or trains to bring cars into the country.
