I want to downvote this because it makes me angry, but I don’t want to harm the person who posted it. Ugh! (didn’t downvote)
- The decision is literally only that NordPost needs to deliver the plates. Nothing else has been decided. Still no dock workers, electricians, cleaners, etc. only that plates must be delivered. Which doesn't mean much if the vehicles aren't being offloaded at your ports.
  
  PostNord will not deliver. Tesla are allowed to go and pick up the plates themselves from the manufacturer
  
  Oy! That's PostNord to you, not NordPost mister! Only we can call our shitty postal service a variety of slurs!
  
  So the workers of NordPost aren't allowed to participate in this strike? Doesn't seem right to me to take away this right from them.
  
  Sounds like the Swedish courts are having a bit of…

  Oh, good to know! I hadn’t really considered that. Thanks!
This is not exactly true and just now the court ruled that Postnord does not need to do it yet.
We'll need to wait a few days until we know for sure what will happen. But for now Postnord does not need to deliver the license plates to Tesla.

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!
- says its employees have as good, or better, terms than those demanded by IF Metall
  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.
- STOCKHOLM
  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.
- I mean, I don't support Tesla in any way but they should be allowed to pick up their plates from PostNord if they refuse to deliver them.
  They have property that isn't theirs, they may not have to deliver it but they can't just keep it.
The courts can say whatever they like. Doesn’t mean the boycott is gonna end. There’s tons of ways to “do your job” creatively without actually doing your job.
