Just 13 o’clock today, Annelie Nordström hit the club in the pulpit and explain the union MWU 29th Congress opened. There will also be the beginning of her own resignation after six years as President of the LO’s largest union.
After the tavern, representation and apartment scandals Aftonbladet revealed last winter it had been able to be a union in crisis gathered . The deal will cast its shadow over the People’s House in Stockholm. But that’s not the whole picture.
Congress delegates can also summarize a strong bargaining. Experts in the leadership side agreements podcasts Pay-day appointed for the nurses to the winners in this year’s wage – at least in the short term. For a union is nothing more important.
In the negotiations got through Municipal principle that certain occupational groups are not only poorly paid, but actually felavlönade. What is the long term will mean for gender equality remains to be seen.
A conference in a large municipal unions is always a news event. The question is still if the Municipal Congress this year is second to none. Congress delegates have a lot there to consider.
luxury restaurant and porn star
An unprofitable luxury restaurant, a porn star on the stage, generous representation and apartments that were handed out to friends and social-tops. The list just goes on.
In parallel with wage negotiations, the union in the spring had to work with an action plan to bring order to the organization.
One of the first decisions the representatives must make is whether Nordstrom is granted discharge.
the greatest attention is still the choice of Nordstrom’s successor to get. Three prospective buyers have come forward. Tobias Baudin who today is vice president of LO, Berit Müller Power, Section Manager of the Municipal union offices and finally the Social Democratic parliamentarian Veronica Lindholm.
Stands against each other
The Nomination Committee presents its proposal today, the choice will be made tomorrow.
Open personal battles may not belong to everyday life of a trade union movement where the succession has often been nearly as orderly as the royal family. But perhaps it is changing, and at the Municipal actually has a history of elections in which candidates standing against each other.
Personally, Annelie Nordström her to leave as a winner rather than a loser. Maybe she’s right.
The one who gets assigned to replace her, however, has a very clear task ahead of it, to restore the confidence of the members.
MWU members deserve a union they can trust .
