This is the best summary I could come up with:


Fintech giant Klarna has reached an agreement with workers that were set to strike next week, the company told TechCrunch today.

Klarna employees were planning to strike next week in the fintech’s home country of Sweden, as reported by tech.eu.

The dispute was reportedly over the lack of a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) — a written legal contract between an employer and a union representing the employees.

Via email, Klarna CEO and co-founder Sebastian Siemiatkowski told TechCrunch on Friday that “after an intense week of negotiations,” the company had reached an agreement to join the Banks Employer Organisation by January 1, 2024.

Our focus in the negotiations has been to secure operational freedom, to continue being able to make quick decisions and to cultivate our unique and successful culture,” he said.

“I am confident that we will benefit from this agreement and that Klarna can contribute to making the Swedish model stronger from the inside.”
