I read somewhere (Wiki?) that Sweden has a workforce that is largely unionized. The few statistics I have seen generally say between 80 to 90% are unionized (compared to the USA's total workface being 12% organized).
Despite Sweden, to my knowledge, having one of the largest (percentage wise) organized workforces, are most of these reformist? Are there prominent militants? Do SAC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sveriges_Arbetares_Centralorganisation) (Central Organization of the Workers of Sweden, an anarcho-syndicalist union) have a large following, or are doing any major work right now?
80-90% is a huge number, but are the unions corrupt, reactionary, undemocratic? Are the people happy with the unions? Is there revolutionary potential in Sweden?
All this plus any other answer to an unasked question would be great.
