The Saltsjöbad Agreement (Swedish: Saltsjöbadsavtalet) is a Swedish labour market treaty signed between the Swedish Trade Union Confederation (Swedish: Landsorganisationen, LO) and the Swedish Employers Association (Swedish: Svenska arbetsgivareföreningen, SAF) on 20 December 1938, that became a model for other agreements. The rules on industrial action have come to be regarded almost as general legal principles of conflicts between the labor market forces.[1] The agreement cemented the Swedish social norm that the two sides shall conclude agreements without interference by government.[2] The agreement is still in effect, with the latest changes being made in 2022.[3]
