Here's an interesting take on #unnions from Mattias Dahl (Confederation of Swedish Enterprise):

'The worst thing from an employer’s point of view is small & weak unions... This puts stress on a union. That’s when they might try to attract members by burning tires & screaming'.

Sweden has strong sector-wide unions which allow the state, employers & #workers to negotiate on pay, regulations & working conditions with less strife.

Will Starmer's Labour try this road?
