We thought the season was over, but the wins keep coming, so we decided to drop an episode to celebrate another one, this time with the mastermind behind the Klarna and Spotify campaigns: Unionen negotiator Björn Larm!

Björn breaks down the five year effort to sign a collective bargaining agreement with Apple Retail, what the workers wanted, and what they missed out by not having the CBA in place when times weren't so good.

We close the show off by talking about Unionen's new campaign, Frihet (which means "freedom" in Swedish), which is focused on giving tech workers the information they need to organise, connecting them with other organisers, and giving workers a way to let Unionen know what is important to them.

Show notes:

• Frihet, Unionen's new campaign specifically for tech workers.
• Unionen's hotline (for Swedish listeners): 0770 870 870
• Contact Björn directly: Bjorn.Larm@Unionen.se
