Industrianställda I Norden, or Nordic IN, is the new name of a merged labour union federation covering five Nordic countries—Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
Two federations—Nordic Metal and NIF, representing workers in chemicals, paper and textile industries—merged 1 January in a move bringing 22 national unions into a single Nordic industrial federation.
Nordic IN intends to safeguard the Nordic social model, characterized by modern and efficient social security systems, equality, democratic influence, and bargaining structures at both the local and national levels. Former ICEM Officer Jyrki Raina is the general secretary of the new federation.
