Building Maintenance Workers' Union (Sweden)
The Building Maintenance Workers' Union (Sweden), also known as Fastighetsanställdas Förbund in Swedish, is a Swedish trade union representing workers in the building maintenance sector. Its membership primarily consists of individuals employed in cleaning, property maintenance, security, and related services within residential, commercial, and public buildings.
The union's primary objectives include negotiating collective bargaining agreements to secure fair wages, benefits, and working conditions for its members. It advocates for issues such as job security, occupational health and safety, and skills development within the building maintenance industry. Fastighetsanställdas Förbund engages in lobbying and political action to influence legislation affecting its members' interests.
The union is affiliated with the Swedish Trade Union Confederation (LO), a central organization for blue-collar unions in Sweden. This affiliation provides it with a broader platform to advocate for workers' rights on a national level and collaborate with other unions on issues of common concern. Fastighetsanställdas Förbund actively participates in the Swedish labor movement and adheres to the principles of social partnership and collective bargaining that characterize the Swedish model.
