After an intense campaign of Union-busting, Klarna bends the knee.
Organizing works, dear friends.
They still haven't learned that they can't fuck with Sweden's unions. Because the strike is usually not just the employees, but also the other unions who will force their employers to stop doing business with union-busters until they stop. I remember a long time ago how the employees at Sweden's ports were asked where Toys R' Us supplies are and they said "we don't know" but suddenly found them once they stopped trying to bust their union.
7Yep. Tesla is currently in the process of fucking around, and the unions are letting them find out as we speak. They are basically no longer able to import cars to Sweden as there's a blockade in every harbor. Soon, cleaning companies will no longer service their facilities.
It will only escalate until they bend the knee.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Fintech giant Klarna has reached an agreement with workers that were set to strike next week, the company told TechCrunch today.
Klarna employees were planning to strike next week in the fintech’s home country of Sweden, as reported by tech.eu.
The dispute was reportedly over the lack of a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) — a written legal contract between an employer and a union representing the employees.
Via email, Klarna CEO and co-founder Sebastian Siemiatkowski told TechCrunch on Friday that “after an intense week of negotiations,” the company had reached an agreement to join the Banks Employer Organisation by January 1, 2024.
Our focus in the negotiations has been to secure operational freedom, to continue being able to make quick decisions and to cultivate our unique and successful culture,” he said.
“I am confident that we will benefit from this agreement and that Klarna can contribute to making the Swedish model stronger from the inside.”
