The Swedish Dockworkers Union is the independent union for dockworkers
2022-07-25 In the SDU, trade union tradition is renewed in a way that is only possible in an organization consisting solely of its members and based on the members' involvement.
The Swedish Dockworkers Union was founded in 1972. Since the start we have put internal democracy first. All important decisions on agreements and disputes are taken by the affected members, and most of the activity takes place in the local branches. On a national level we arrange courses, giving opportunities for members from different parts of the country to meet, and we have the overall responsibility for contacts with the government.
Being the majority union in Swedish ports, we are able to coordinate support for each other when necessary.
