SUMMARY:Nordic Workers\, Union and Labor Rights - by Jordin Williams
DESCRIPTION:American-Swedish trade unionist Jordin Williams will discuss how workers are organized across the Nordic spectrum: Iceland\, Norway\, Sweden\, Finland\, and Denmark. He will give a Powerpoint presentation to discuss labor rights and labor laws and the issues that they face. The rights of Swedish workers on the job allow greater unionization and solidarity than is allowed under U.S. laws. While the rate of unionization has dropped from 80% to 70%\, it is still far greater than the unionization in the U.S. where over 12\,000 workers are fired every year for even trying to form a union. European unions and labor rights are under attack by companies\, as in the case of airline Ryanair’s use of foreign temporary workers; this will be discussed at this forum.
