Chapter 10 · Sweden's modern history
Fack och arbetsgivare förhandlar om löner i en svensk bransch. Hur brukar en gemensam uppgörelse dokumenteras?
Unions and employers negotiate wages in a Swedish industry. How is their joint agreement usually recorded?
Correct answer: In a collective agreement
The Swedish model gives unions and employers substantial responsibility for pay and conditions. They negotiate collective agreements within the framework of legislation.
