We 2-3397 do your corns feel like this perhaps the most striking Dif Ference is in the method of negotiating contracts. Basic negotiating is not done As it is in Canada Between individual swedish firms and unions but rather on a group basis. Both sides have Strong organizations. The main labor body is the confederation of Trade unions representing 33 Industrial unions with a membership of which is 20 per cent of Sweden s population. On the other Side of the bargaining table is the swed ish employers confederation spokesman for firms. The confederation of Trade unions usually sets the wage Pat Tern for the two smaller labor groups the Central organization of salaried employees and the swedish confederation of professional associations. Approximately workers Are members of the salaried employees association which is 70 per of those employed in White Collar jobs such As fore men teachers office Bank and retail shop employees. The third group representing professional personnel has Ajo enrolled including senior civil servants some of those in academic Fields and army and police officers. Labor and management spokes men emphasize that to be successful both sides must have Strong organizations which they Lave. They also emphasize that they must be free of government intervention which they Are. In Sweden the government cannot As it sometimes does in Canada intervene in a dispute and Force a settlement. Some of the other main differ aces Between the Canadian and swedish labor systems there is no compulsory arbitration but there is a govern ment appointed mediation serv be available. _ there Are no minimum wage regulations in Sweden. Labor Ici als say that once a minimum wage is set it All too often be omes a a there Are no closed shops. Swedish management won t accept them. Very Little negotiating is done on fringe most of these Are provided by Law. For example the Law provides for supplementary pensions be ing financed out of management contributions. A special labor court rules upon disputes arising out of interpretation of existing contracts and its decision must be accepted As final by both sides.

Sweden turned to Central Neotia tons for All unions involved when it was discovered that individual bargaining was leading to one Union naturally attempt ing to surpass the benefits obtained by another. This in turn led to new de mands by the other Union which was determined not to be left behind by rising wages. Labor decided this method was leading to an inflationary Cycle evaluating the wage increases gained. We found we were having to waste our negotiating strength by running just to remain in the same was the Way one labor Leader put it. This system was leading Only to inflationary setbacks which were hampering economic expansion and consequently also a successful Trade Union he said. These considerations were fore most in the minds of swedish labor executives when they pro posed centralized negotiations. These negotiations have now been going on uninterrupted since 1956. Most agreements since then have covered two year periods. However the current contracts were negotiated for three years 1966 to 1968. Besides wage boosts the contract now in Force pro Vides for a reduction in the work week from 45 to 42% hours Over the three year period. One of tile main benefits of centralized to All segments of the Economy is the stabilizing of wage increases for most swedish workers. The procedure followed by la Bor is for individual Union s to Send delegates to a conference at which general principles for action Are drawn up. These Are then passed to the confederation of Trade unions which is entrusted to negotiate these principles according to a fixed plan. The terms Are. Then Laid Down in a general agreement with the swedish employers association. This agreement provides the framework for the contracts of the individual unions. In some cases a certain amount of Lati tude is left for departing from he wage increases recommended in the Central agreement. Management is Content with this procedure. Sture Eskilsson assistant Dir Ector of the swedish employers association says that we Are satisfied because we Haven t found a better besides he adds it solves a number of problems not of which is the question of Juris diction when a number of crafts Are represented in one company s operations.
