They’re suing for less than a $100,000 according to the article. This doesn’t even make sense

- capableweb 4y agoAccording to another source, it's a "unusually large amount", not sure if that's true or not, seems really small to me. Automatic translation via DeepL: > We are suing Klarna for an unusually large amount of damages. This is due to the fact that the lawsuit concerns a large number of members," says Martin Wästfelt, head of negotiations, in the press release. https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/unionen-stammer-klarna-i-arbetsdomstolen https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/unionen-stammer-klarna-i-...
- guerrilla 4y agoJust wanted to say the translation is correct. I can't say whether it's unusual or not. I follow labor news closely (Arbetaren, Arbetet, etc.), but I can't remember any case similar to this in recent history. It's pretty rare Unionen does anything though, as they're half-way to a company union compared to the others, so maybe it is indeed unusually large for them.
- waffleiron 4y agoIt says over one million kroner, so potentially a lot more than that. It’s possible they don’t want to reveal the amount at the moment?
- capableweb 4y agoThis seems to be straight from the labor union doing the suing: > The Union sues Klarna in the Labour Court (AD) for SEK 1 300 000 https://www.unionen.se/pressmeddelande/3336818 https://www.unionen.se/pressmeddelande/3336818 So around 124K USD or 117K EUR. Not that much more.
- waffleiron 4y agoThanks! That’s quite disappointing :(

- mzi 4y agoIt seems to be less than Klarna makes in an hour, before expenses.
