Swedish Nurses Demand Better Work Conditions

Published: 2024-06-26

Nurses in Sweden are pushing back against poor working conditions, citing three million overtime hours and lost holidays.

They demand at least 15 minutes extra daily for negotiations.

Meanwhile, ongoing strikes have disrupted healthcare services, causing cancellations of surgeries and diagnostics in places like Värmland.

Mediation between the Swedish Association of Health Professionals, SKR, and Sobona continues, but a resolution appears distant.
