– The impact will be much greater than what the building will include in its notice, says Building Industries Federation negotiator Mats Åkerlind.

Assessment based on Swedish construction Federation’s analysis of the union’s strike notice of 60 companies in a three-stage rocket breaks out april 12 if no settlement is reached before then. Construction has entered the 2600 members of 60 companies.

In the first step in the union’s notice estimated 9700 workers at 525 workplaces directly and indirectly affected by the strike.

– There are big heavy suppliers, key companies involved, says Åkerlind.

But the effects will be much larger than that, the employer party is only calculated on the first step in building a strike warning.

– this is just the beginning, then will double the number of, say Åkerlind.

for example, when the crane company is taken out on strike many will be idle on building sites.

– we are therefore looking at how we can protect our member companies, says Åkerlind.

the strike cost for businesses is estimated at 100-200 million per day.

Dispute the issue has so far acted most of the wage system, chords question. The mediators have met the parties several times. And possibly, a bid by the end of the week.

– We anticipate that it will file a motion sometime this weekend as it looks right now, says Åkerlind.
