Goran Salmonsson (Uppsala University) also informed me that a
number of dissertations have been written in Sweden in the past
twenty years on the subject of the early history of labor-
management relations in that country. Many of the dissertations
include at least a summary in English. Anyone seriously
interested in investigating the evolution of Swedish labor-
management relations will likely want to consult those works.

suggestions and helpful comments: Roy Adams, Steven Deutsch,
Colleen Dunlavy, Steve Halebsky, Ian Hampson, Helen Liebel-
Weckowicz, Doris Linder, David Mitch, Tony O'Brien, Timo
