Sweden - Confederation co-ordinates action around collective bargaining - February 15, 2010

From 13 March on, affiliates of the LO blue-collar workers’ confederation have been involved in a range of demonstrations and events throughout the country highlighting the importance and value of collective agreements. The main collective bargaining round is underway and LO wants to ensure that workers are aware of the benefits of collective agreements, to those covered by them but also to the working of society and the economy in general.
