Sweden - Collective bargaining claim focuses on Improved conditions for young and temporary workers

http://vision.se/Opinion/Pressmeddelande/2011/Battre-villkor-for-unga-och-visstidsanstallda3/ The Vision white-collar union has submitted its pay and conditions claim to the KFS employers’ organisation. The claim covers Vision’s 7400 members who work for private companies providing services in local government, energy and water. As well as a general pay increase the union is calling for temporary workers to get permanent contracts if they have been on temporary contracts for two years. It also wants employees to have more control over their working time as well as additional leave for those with only 25 days’ leave. Advice EPSU – www.epsu.org
