Show Notes
We kick off Organising Tech in Sweden in style by recounting the story of how a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) was won at Klarna, a major Swedish fintech. In fact, Klarna was the first unicorn in Sweden to be unionised (and probably the first unicorn in Europe as well)!
To hear all about how this went down, your co-hosts Josh and Ray are joined by Thomas, the founder of the Klarna Unionen Club (a union "local", to use terminology that might be more familiar to US listeners); Sen, the chair of the club who won the bargaining agreement against the odds; and Kim, a former Klarna employee with extensive knowledge of Swedish labour law and market policy.
This is part 1 of the conversation, which will be concluded in Episode 2.
