The healthcare association announces that it will analyze the mediators’ home location in Sobona’s contract area during Thursday and that a decision will be made tomorrow at the earliest.
“We have not been involved in the development of the home place and do not know what it contains. We will take the time to analyze the home place from that perspective,” says Sineva Ribeiro, president of the Healthcare Association, in a press release.

Formally, the offer only applies to Sobona’s contract area (the municipal companies’ employer side), but according to Sweden’s Municipalities and Regions (SKR), the parties on the employer side are working together to reach an agreement.
The conflict between unions and employers has been going on since April 25. The healthcare association does not consider the workload to be sustainable and wants to see a reduction in working hours, among other things. From the employer’s side, it is believed that reduced working hours are not possible given the tough economic situation.
Since June 4, there has been a strike in a number of regions: Stockholm, Västra Götaland, Skåne, Östergötland and Västerbotten. The strike was extended as recently as Tuesday to more workplaces and one more region, Värmland.
