Strikes planned at six pulp and paper mills in Sweden
Apr 07, 2010. /Lesprom Network/. Pappers and Skogsindustrierna, the Swedish Forest Industries Federation, are currently negotiating a new collective agreement for the pulp and paper industry, as Nordic Paper Journal reported.
On March 19, Pappers gave a notice of overtime ban at all pulp and paper mills in Sweden to Skogsindustrierna. The overtime ban would come into effect on April 5, but was postponed a week by the mediators.
On April 6, Pappers gave a second notice, this time a notice of strike at six pulp and paper mills.
The strike will come into effect on April 16, if no agreement between Pappers and Skogsindustrierna has been reached until then. The mills, which will be affected by the strike, are SCA Munksund, Iggesund, Korsnäs Gävle, Stora Enso Skoghall, Billerud Skärblacka and Södra Cell Värö.
The negotiations between Pappers and Skogsindustrierna have been going on since the middle of December last year. The previous collective agreement ended March 31.
