Teach Me Sweden is a Swedish History podcast by comedians Jonathan Rollins (US) and Erik Broström (SE). Each week one of them reads a true story from Swedish History to the other one who likely knows nothing about it.

In this episode, Jonathan teaches Erik about one of the first attempts at a strike in Swedish history. Tis the season, considering Sweden's "Labor Day" was this week. This episode chronicles the reaction from a city when the workers try to organize in order to improve pay and work conditions. Will there be a sympathetic ear lent to the workers? Will a drawn-out negotiation process take place? Will the city react with brute force? Listen in and find out just how far we've come with respect to caring for employees.
