"We have not recieved any confirmation of that any strike is planned", said Electrolux press contact Anders Edholm. The labor unions have agreed on lowering wages and extending working hours just to make the business profitable again. "Their changes doesn't even reach half of the savings we have do to make the business profitable again", said Anders Edholm. According to AFX News there will be a strike. A group of European labor unions will take 25000 workers in Europe to strike on Friday.
