Strike: More than ten power plants in Sweden are now standing still, some of them totally still and some of them are partly closed. This reports Sveriges Television today.This development is the consequence of the conflict between Swedish Association for Electricians and the Energy sector’s employer association.
The association for electricians (Elektrikerförbundet) started their overtime blockade last Thursday and it concerns around 1,800 employees. Already during the weekend, the management of the power plants started to suffer, because minor errors were not repaired.
Today the next step was taken: limited strike. At the nuclear power plant in Oskarshamn, south-east Sweden, the electricians were taken out on strike. It concerns workers on the power plant’s goods reception. Furthermore no reparation works are conducted at the water power plants.
The wage negotiations will continue tomorrow. If there is no deal, another 2,800 employes will go out on strike. Moreover the transport sector trade union has announced sympati-blockade against the related paper industries’ management of goods at the ports. This will start the 28th April.
