A potential strike at Systembolaget, Sweden's state-run alcohol monopoly, was averted following negotiations between trade unions and Svensk Handel. Just days before planned walkouts by union workers, which would have disrupted alcohol supply chain by affecting headquarters and warehouses, a collective bargaining agreement was reached. Central to the negotiations was the union's demand for part-time employees to obtain the same overtime compensation rights as full-time staff. With the deal in place, the strike was called off, ensuring uninterrupted access to alcohol this summer season.
The threat of a strike from trade unions was poised to disrupt alcohol supply in Sweden, but a new agreement has secured operations for Systembolaget this summer.
Unionen and Engineers of Sweden demanded overtime compensation rights for part-time workers, which led to negotiations with Svensk Handel to avoid industrial action.
