Workers Threatened for Contacting Union During Termination
Summary
Employees in Sweden, especially foreign-born consultants, are being intimidated by managers who explicitly warn them not to contact their union for legal support when facing termination. This leaves workers scared, confused, and afraid to exercise their fundamental labor rights, despite their long tenure and strong performance. The simultaneous loss of employment, uncertainty about legal protections, and fear of retaliation creates immense anxiety. There is currently no trusted and anonymous resource to inform employees of their rights and support them without triggering the 'drastic company retaliation' that is threatened.
