EMPLOYERS PAID £24,000 DAMAGES
Stockholm, Apr. 14.-
Communist agitators here have received a sharp reminder that unofficial strikes are punished in Socialist Sweden.
The reminder, a published judgment of the Labour Court, comes at a time when management and labour here are grappling with a national wages problem.
- Over 2,000 dockers in 12 Swedish ports, who went on un-. official strikes lasting from six hours to six days, have been sentenced to pay their employ ers damages totalling nearly 350,000 crowns. (about £24,000 sterling).
PAY EMPLOYERS
Their unions in eight of the ports have been ordered to pay the employers dam- ages totalling 28,100 crowds. (about £1,000).
Led by Communist stewards and against the advice of their union leaders, the dockers struck against the collective agreement made by their union with their employers early last year.
