(AOF) – Tesla must respect collective negotiations for its employees in the Nordic region: this is the message that will be sent to the American car manufacturer in a joint letter which should be sent to it this week by a collective of pension funds. “Tesla’s attitude towards the right to collective bargaining is very worrying,” say the signatories in a preparatory version consulted by Reuters, referring to the ongoing conflict with Swedish mechanics. A Danish union joined the dispute last week, which began at the end of October.
In question, Tesla’s refusal to conclude a collective agreement with its Swedish employees.

A French market in good shape
The French automobile market recorded its tenth consecutive month of growth in October 2023 with 152,383 registrations of new passenger vehicles (+22% year-on-year). It increased by 16.49% over the first 10 months of 2023, with 1.44 million registrations, almost as many as in 2022 (1.52 million) but much less than the level of 2019 (2.2 million ). However, the forecast indicators are not good because new orders fell by 13% at the end of September 2023. The slowdown in orders could be explained by inflation, the rise in interest rates, and more prudent management of their cash flow by companies (half of the market). If Stellantis (Peugeot, Citroën, Fiat, Opel, Jeep) remains the leader of the French market, with a market share greater than 28%, the Renault group (Renault, Dacia, Alpine) benefited from good performances in October 2023, with almost 31% additional new registrations over one year. The French group represents 24.6% of the private car market.
