Two-year deal in care sector

Sweden

The Kommunal municipal union has signed a new two-year agreement with the health employers’ organisation that covers workers in the care sector. The pay increases are in line with increases in other sectors but the union says the negotiations were difficult and it had to resist employer attempts to undermine employment conditions. This year’s pay rise will be at least SEK 490 (€52) from 1 July and at least SEK 480 (€51) from 1 August 2011. Minimum rates for full-time workers above 19 years will be at least SEK 15,685 (€1,663) from 1 July 2010 and SEK 16,070 (€1,703) from 1 August 2011 while workers with vocational education, and a year of continuous employment in the profession after graduation, will be on a minimum of SEK 17,385 (€1,843) from 1 July 2010 and SEK 17,770 (€1,884) from 1 August 2011.
