Tesla has filed a lawsuit against the Swedish state via Sweden’s Transport Agency after striking postal workers in the Scandinavian country stopped delivering license plates for new vehicles manufactured by the Texas-based automaker
If that happened they would use another carrier. Which may or may not have a sympathetic union.
You’re trying to paint a picture in which the government is directly involved with cockblocking Tesla but it’s not. Union culture was bound to bite them in the ass one way or another. It’s got nothing to do with the fact the government has to control license plate distribution.
Edit: I’ve already read your other comment btw so no need to rehash it. I happen to agree with it, I think there is merit to reviewing the arguments of both Tesla and the government in this situation. But it’s not going to get any easier for Tesla going forward.
If something else took out this one postal service, it would halt all auto sales with no other recourse.

A natural disaster.
I’m sure there’s other circumstances where this could be unexpectedly bad on a whole.

They can’t use another carrier.
There’s a contract preventing it.
The contract is the problem, not the union.
Edit: as per your edit I agree, even if they do win, things are only going to get harder.
