In this week's Sweden in Focus we discuss: industrial action hits Tesla and Klarna, fears that new salary requirements for work permit holders will undermine the Swedish labour market model, how an oil spill and new fishing quotas have put the Baltic Sea in focus, and an ill-tempered battle for control of Sweden’s Green Party.
Host Paul O’Mahony is joined this week by The Local's James Savage and Richard Orange.
