DESCRIPTION:Nordic Workers, Union and Labor Rights – by Jordin 
 Williams\n\nAmerican-Swedish trade unionist Jordin Williams will discuss 
 how workers are organized across the Nordic spectrum: Iceland, Norway, 
 Sweden, Finland, and Denmark. He will give a Powerpoint presentation to 
 discuss labor rights and labor laws and the issues that they face. The 
 rights of Swedish workers on the job allow greater unionization and 
 solidarity than is allowed under U.S. laws. While the rate of unionization 
 has dropped from 80% to 70%, it is still far greater than the unionization 
 in the U.S. where over 12,000 workers are fired every year for even trying 
 to form a union. European unions and labor rights are under attack by 
 companies, as in the case of airline Ryanair’s use of foreign temporary 
 workers.\nSee
