This is Kommunal, the Swedish Municipal Workers’ Union

Kommunal is Sweden’s largest trade union with more than 500,000 members. We are active at municipal level and in county councils, the Church, cooperatives, private or municipal companies and land management.

Occupations represented by Kommunal

Kommunal organises members into a couple of hundred different occupational groups. We have employers in municipal authorities, county councils and the private sector.

The idea behind trade union association

All trade unions are based on the same principle: co-workers join forces to strengthen their position. If you and your workmates discuss wages and terms of employment on an individual basis, the employer can play you off against each other and give you poorer terms. However, if you agree on what you want, and negotiate as a group, you will acquire a position of strength.
