I was very sad today to hear that Sofia Applegren has decided to sell her salad bar Wild 'n' Fresh after being blocked by the trade unions for the last two months. My colleagues and I will lose a great place to have lunch at, but mostly this shows how much power the trade unions still have in Sweden.
Either you sign the collective agreement or you close. That’s what I call a threat and threats should not be part of the labour market (or anywhere else.) But the Swedish labour laws say it is OK and so do our Minster of Labour, who says it part of the “Swedish tradition”. He’s wrong. Collective agreements, blockades and threats will never support entrepreneurs and the very much need for new job opportunities.
