3 Conflict in Gothenburg A problem for Sweden

4 Some people still have a romantic picture of Port of Gothenburg - in an isolated world far away from reality and not sustainable.

5 Port of Gothenburg is known for strong dockworker unions We need long term labour stability, within the Swedish Labour model, similar to all industries in Sweden! Break out from TWU Swedish Dockworkers Union (SDU) is established, without CBA rights Long conflicts at Port of Gothenburg: Working hours, labour benefits, reduction of staff including long periods of blockades without results being reached 2015, new conflicts/blockades about overtime, summer plans resulting in poor customer flexibility. Repeated in 2016 SDU demands 11 points rolled back prior to APMT take over, later present 6 point list of demands SDU demands more influence and VETO over Transport Union, who holds CBA within all Swedish Ports! Minister of Labour involved, inquest to change the labour laws (ready MAY 18) Transport Workers Union & Swedish Ports Association holds the Collective Barganing Agreement for all Swedish Ports Port of Gothenburg and City of Gothenburg decides to privatise port operations: RoRo-, Container- and Energy facilities 17 terminal operators bid on PoG container concession, APM Terminals wins the rights to operate 25 years During 2016: - 70 dialog meetings, - 32 directly with SDU, - 5 days with lawyers, - 7 days with Swedish Mediation Institute, APMT offers SDU a local agrmt. National Swedish Mediation Institute offers 2 agreements : - A local side agreement - A local limited CBA - APMT agrees to both, - SDU declines both APM Terminals reset the business - Partial Lock-out to counter SDU (4) blockades - Reduce manning by Layoffs AUG 17 - JAN 18 - New manning agency

6 The main reason to the conflict is a legal mistake in the conflict rules Swedish labor model Union base democratic structure conflict rules (mistake) CBA Swedish Ports Transport workers union Demands conflict Konflikt All Swedish companies have agreements within the Swedish Labor model Each and every issue that one of more members finds important can start a strike, anytime The law allows blockades or strikes, to obtain a CBA, BUT in this case a CBA is already signed with Transport Workers Union

7 What s the solution to the conflict? CBA Law Sveriges Hamnar Transportarbetarförbundet Actions needed: Legal change necessary Speed up the current investigation of legal possibilities 7
