Northvolt Workers Fear for Safety After Deaths

Published: 2024-06-27

Workers at Northvolt's battery plant in Skellefteå are deeply worried following the unexplained deaths of three colleagues.

Despite reassurances from Northvolt's management and safety officials, employees are speculating about potential workplace hazards, including a water leak that a worker dealt with before he died.

Some employees are so distressed that they are seeking new jobs while their families fear for their safety.

Northvolt insists that investigations show no link between the deaths and the factory, but the police continue to examine all possible factors.

The situation remains tense, with workers demanding more transparency and assurances.
