Towards the end of 2010 Swedish Aircraft Engineers union, SFF, signed the national collective agreement for the first time in its history. SFF chairman, Ola Blomqvist on signing the agreement, said -“Bearing in mind that SFF have been struggling for thirty-six years to achieve this, it is a great moment. It will give us a new platform to work from when representing our members” he added.

On hearing the news of SFF’s success, AEI’s Secretary General, Fred Bruggeman said that “SFF have been representing the vast majority of Swedish Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers for many years now and so this achievement is well earned and makes perfect sense.”
