Union agrees two-year deals with KFS employer association

Sweden

The Kommunal municipal union has signed 10 two-year agreements with the KFS employers’ organization. KFS brings together 600 companies with around 35,000 employees providing a range of municipal services – consulting, museums, health and education, for example. Around 80% of the KFS member companies are owned by local authorities while the rest are partially or wholly privately owned. Kommunal believes the agreements are in line with the overall settlement in the municipal sector. They provide for percentage increases of 1.1%-1.5% in 2010 rising to 2.2% to 2.6% in 2011. Some agreements express the increases in SEK and these range from SEK 300 (€31) to 450 (€47) in 2010 and from SEK 520 (€54) to 550 (€57) in 2011.
