Just as the central collective agreement for the state sector expired on 30 September, the trade union bargaining organizations OFR/S,P,O, Seko and Saco-S agreed on a new agreement with the Employers' Agency (Arbetsgivarverket), valid from 1 October 2025.

The agreement includes an increase in the contribution to occupational pension (PA-16) and changes to terms for assistant lecturers at foundation universities.
