Tomas Blidsberg is Chief union negotiator for Sweden’s Engineers.
He says that the union was reached by information about Hans Vestberg down as president of Ericsson on Monday morning.
Tomas Blidsberg believe that the news was unexpected.
– There have been problems and speculation but I did not think it would go so fast, says Tomas Blidsberg.
Jan Frykhammar now enters as CEO, as a temporary solution.
Tomas Blidsberg do not want to speculate too much in Frykhammars role because he clearly stated that he has no respect to a candidate for the regular mail.
– Something special distrust Jan Frykhammar, we have not said Tomas Blidsberg.

– these allowances are living usual in the blue. Considering you also all the signs of the crisis and the savings will send it mildly, strange and dubious signals, said Tomas Blidsberg.
“bled of employees in Sweden”
For the moment there are no designated candidate for the post of president.
– I think not worry us, but now we are thinking about what this change of CEO will lead the company. Now it depends on what happens in the future, says Tomas Blidsberg.
He says that Ericsson is in a negative spiral and see problems with that at all times choose a defensive strategy “where we bled of employees in Sweden” .
– We are now looking forward with curiosity about what this means for the culture that has so far prevailed at Ericsson with this negative spiral. If you can break it and bet more aggressively, also for a better balance in the line between technology and ekomin than we think we have had in recent years, says Tomas Blidsberg.
No notice of notice
He announced that the union is not reached by any indication of who may be called as the new president.
– this is crispy new and I do not think it will be up to date until they have developed a candidate they want to bet on.
Tomas Blidsberg states that he neither received any new information about the upcoming layoffs. Whether how it beats globally or within Sweden.
It is still unclear how the savings measures will strike, or what areas or places that may be affected.
Tomas Blidsberg expect an answer in August after the summer holidays, and said that the company announced that it worked too full to announce measures in detail.
– we think we have very good reason to believe that it will hit in Sweden, and we know it tends to hit hard in Sweden, says Tomas Blidsberg.
