Swedish journalists' union orders overtime ban

Sweden's main journalists' union has ordered an overtime ban for members at 90 companies, including the publishers of several of the country's daily papers. The action comes after negotiations between the union, Svenska Journalistförbundet, and the employers' organisation, Tidningsutgivarna, broke down in mid-June. The ban is due to start on August 17 and initially covers small regional publications. If no agreement is reached by the end of the month the action will spread to leading Stockholm-based daily papers. (Via The Local)
