Continued cooperation between the LO and the Social Democrat Party
Today the LO Congress discussed the trade union movement’s political role and endorsed the proposal by the LO Board to continue cooperation with the Social Democrat Party. LO will also strive to give union members greater facilities for discussing ideology in order to take better advantage of political interest amongst members, in the hope that more LO union members decide to join the Social Democrat Party.
Swedish Trade Union Confederation (LO) organises 15 unions with a union density of 76 percent of the blue collar workers. Wanja Lundby-Wedin is president of LO and the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC).
