Tesla sues Sweden over blocked licence plates

COPENHAGEN, Nov 27 (Reuters): Tesla has filed a lawsuit against the Swedish government's Transport Agency over a workers' strike that has blocked the US auto maker's requests for license plates for new vehicles, business daily Dagens Industri reported on Monday.

IF Metall, Sweden's biggest manufacturing union, is locked in a fight with Tesla to get a collective bargaining agreement for its mechanics in Sweden. Metall put the mechanics on strike on Oct. 27, refusing to service Tesla's cars.
