Sweden: Arbitration & Dispute Resolution

A Swedish Labour Court ruling examined whether a trade union's notice of solidarity blockade action against waste handling operations was sufficiently clear in its scope. The employers' association challenged the notice, arguing it failed to specify which of its 4,500+ member companies were affected, while the union maintained it followed customary labour market practices by listing specific addresses.

The Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce has announced that it will provide reasons for its decisions on challenges to arbitrators, making it the third institution to do so.
