On 10 December, Jyrki Raina, General Secretary of IndustriALL Global Union, met with Jan Johansson, CEO of SCA to renew the GFA between SCA, IndustriALL and Swedish trade union Pappers.
The first GFA with SCA was signed in 2004 and has since been renewed every second year. According IndsutriAll, "the latest version of the GFA is more dynamic and meets current requirements in line with the decisions from the Frankfurt conference on GFAs.
The revised agreement lists fundamental conventions and ILO guidelines principles, the basis of the relationship between employers and employees. It also covers the issues of working-time and compensation for overtime, as well as a principle of equality towards all employees; permanent, part-time or contract staff".
