Unions threaten strike against Candy Crush maker King over collective agreement row

Several unions are threatening strike action against King, the gaming company behind Candy Crush Saga. The reason is that the company does not want to sign a collective bargaining agreement.

The Swedish Association of Engineers and the Union have announced a strike at their offices in Stockholm and Malmö. The conflict will start on September 25 if no solution is reached before then. The notice affects 100 members of the Swedish Association of Engineers.

"A strike is not something we take lightly, but the signal from our members at King is that they want us to take the next step to secure their conditions and influence. Our hope is of course to reach a solution before the strike breaks out," says Camilla Frankelius, head of negotiations at Sveriges Ingenjörer, in a press release.
