Make an action at Connex offices or Swedish embassies November 18 or send your email protest to Connex, the responsible public transport autority and inform the trade union:

We denounce Connex action in the privatised public transport in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Sacking the trade union leader Per Johansson fighting for metro security measures is a threat to the public and a threat to freedom of speech and democracy. Privatisation of public transport has been globally by world wide corporations like Connex. It has been followed by accidents and weakening of service standards which is a threat to the public and the environment. It is of vital importance to society that trade unions can defend the rights of workers and the right to inform the public on security concerns. We demand the withdrawal of the dismissal of Per Johansson and his reinstatement.
