This is the best summary I could come up with:
STOCKHOLM, Nov 27 (Reuters) - A court in Sweden ruled on Monday the country's transport authority must find a way to get licence plates to Tesla (TSLA.O) that are being blocked by postal workers, the Aftonbladet newspaper reported.
However, Norrkoping district court ruled the agency must get the plates to Tesla within seven days or pay a fine of 1 million Swedish crowns ($95,000).
Union IF Metall put mechanics on strike on Oct. 27, refusing to service Tesla's cars because the company would not accept collective bargaining.
Tesla has a policy of not signing collective bargaining agreements and says its employees have as good, or better, terms than those demanded by IF Metall.
Tesla, in its court filing, called the transport agency's decision not to let it pick up the licence plates "a unique attack on a company operating in Sweden".
Seko, the union that organised the PostNord workers, told Reuters an easy solution for Tesla was to sign the collective bargaining agreement with IF Metall.
The original article contains 345 words, the summary contains 166 words. Saved 52%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
The decision was made by a court in Norrköping, where the filling was made and where the hearing will be had. Stockholm had nothing to do with this.
If their terms are just as good then what's wrong with signing the demanded terms?
They couldn't just unilaterally alter the agreement anymore at a later date.
