SVENSKA HAMNARBETARFÖRBUNDET
The Swedish Dockworkers Union is the independent trade union for dockworkers
In the SDU, trade union tradition is renewed in a way that is only possible in an organization 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 members affected, and the local branches are key in the organization. On a national level we provide education, giving opportunities for members from different parts of the country to meet. We also 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.

WHY ERIK’S DISMISSAL IS NOT A PERSONAL MATTER BUT AN ATTACK ON OUR UNION
After consultation with the union on Friday, February 21, it became clear that the employer Gothenburg RoRo Terminal (GRT) and the majority owner DFDS intend to proceed with the dismissal of the vice-chairman of the Port Workers’ Union, Erik Helgeson, despite the lack of legal grounds.
