Broad consensus during the Union's parliamentary seminar: The IT and telecom industry needs to become more equal

On 14 February, Unionen organized a seminar in the Swedish Parliament on gender equality in the IT and telecom industry, with the aim of finding common solutions to the challenges of the industry's skills supply. The head of communications for IT&Telecom companies was one of the panelists.

"I believe that we will find solutions. The very fact that Unionen is inviting us to a seminar together with the employer party, and the presentations we have seen today, show a fairly common problem analysis", commented Teres Lindberg, Member of Parliament for the Social Democrats.
