Magdalena Andersson Addresses Serious Work Environment Issues at S-Kvinnor

Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson comments on Expressen's revelation about the pressured work environment at the S-Kvinnor office.

Expressen recently uncovered that several current and former employees at the Swedish Social Democratic Women's Federation office in Stockholm have reported a work environment characterized by verbal abuse, reprimands, and widespread dissatisfaction with leadership.

Several women have spoken about openly crying at the workplace and a manager who rules with an "iron fist."

Now, Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson reacts to the reports.

– It is very serious what has emerged from the employees, and it is important that S-Kvinnor addresses the work environment, she tells Expressen.

When asked if she will follow up on the situation herself, Andersson replies:

– Of course, I have conversations with Annika Strandhäll about this.

Developing an Action Plan

Annika Strandhäll, chair of S-Kvinnor, previously told Expressen that the board has taken the reports very seriously and that measures have been implemented, including HR support and management training for the federation secretary Nina Unesi.

Despite this, several employees claim that the problems persist and that the measures have not been sufficient.

According to Strandhäll, work is now underway to develop an action plan to improve the work environment. Meanwhile, employees are given the option to work from home if they wish.

Nina Unesi has declined to address the specific allegations but has written in a text message to Expressen that she is "incredibly proud" of her colleagues and that work on the work environment continues.

S-Kvinnor is one of Sweden's largest women's organizations and has been advocating for women's rights for over 100 years.
