Already in the fall when the LO’s wage coordination burst, many predicted that it would be a difficult wage negotiations. The time is here now. And the tone is being screwed up properly:

“Building goal is to crack the mark and destroy the Swedish model. A well-paid male-dominated group should get more than others. This is an irresponsible abuse of the conflict weapon,” writes Swedish enterprise’s executive vice president and chief negotiator Peter Jeppsson remarks said.

60 construction companies about 2 600 members will be on strike, in a first stage from 12 april on no agreement with the counterparty Swedish Construction Federation reached before then.

– this is a very extensive notice. I believe that it is much larger than that, says Building Industries Federation negotiator Mats Åkerlind.

Build battle is about the composition and powers of wage formation.

The union wants to defend his right to the chord and a system often give higher pay than regular monthly salary.

– It’s about power over wage formation, says Building Chairman Johan Lindholm.

Employers Party has a small term for issue:

– the union wants to strengthen his power over wage formation. We want to remove the compulsion chord, says Åkerlind.

With that he believes the union influence on the employees to go on chords or monthly.

Conflict The move is the biggest in a long time. The strike comes on the break out to beat the heavy industries and housing – in a first step to a hundred jobs, and that at a time when the construction industry is booming, according to Mats Åkerlind.

Since earlier have paint tray given notice of a strike on the same issues. At the same time raises the collar unions Union and Sweden’s Engineers tone of pensions in negotiations with service industries employer party ALMEGA. The parties are arguing about provisions for better pensions. A solution looks far out.

– We see in the current situation, no feasible way. We are preparing for the full, we have everything in place, says Swedish Association of Graduate Engineers negotiator Camilla Frankelius.

So if there is no solution in place last March, when it will strike?

– Yes … but it can happen that we let them have the opportunity to get on the weekend as well, but then the race is run, says Frankelius.

Meanwhile, wage negotiations in the industry since the unions turned down the employers’ offer.
