Kommunal is Sweden's largest trade union, organizing staff in municipal operations as well as private companies that have been hired to perform municipal services. The district office employs an administrative manager and a team of six administrative staff and six ombudsmen who negotiate with employers and support elected representatives in local unions.
Because the local office manager felt that the business did not work well enough— there were too many interpersonal conflicts within and between the two staff teams—I was hired in February of 2021 to work with the entire staff group.
