Sweden’s Labor Court Upholds Strike Restrictions
Stockholm July 23 A rapid strike is prohibited by Swedish law requiring a week's notice. The labor court enforces penalties for breaches of collective agreements with fines to workers and unions. Examples include bricklayers fined 125 dollars each and a 2500 dollar union penalty for violating an agreement, while an employer faced fines for contract breaches. The system, backed by King Gustav’s influence, balances between labor and capital, though flaws in fixed periods and wage adjustments exist.
