If Seko and the Almega train companies – which represent the employers – fail to reach an agreement before 3pm on Monday, the strike will break out.
At 06:30 on Monday morning, negotiations between the parties were still ongoing.
Don’t want to tell where they stand
“Has been going on all night and is still going on,” writes Seko’s communications manager Jonas Pettersson.
On the other hand, the union does not want to answer if they have come closer to a solution and a new collective agreement.
The conflict mainly revolves around schedule issues and working hours. To some extent, it also deals with solitary work, which is an issue that received a lot of attention in connection with commuter train drivers going on wild strike in April.
3-step notification
The notification is designed in three steps. Step one means that the Öresund trains, commuter train traffic in Stockholm and certain SJ sections will be affected.
In stages two and three, the subway in Stockholm and more SJ lines will go on strike, and last in the chain also freight traffic on rails.
