Wanja Lundby-Wedin, head of Sweden’s Trade Union Confederation (LO),
has been criticized for letting her husband stay for free at an Italian
holiday camp. They have shared a double room.
She habitually spends six days a year at the resort,
about half of which are filled with board meetings, the other half
dedicated to “observing operations”, writes the newspaper Expressen.
As for the other union heads - among them chairman of the Swedish
Confederation for Professional Employees, Sture Nordh - it is common
practice to take their spouses along to accompany them.
Lundby-Wedin, it has emerged, let her husband share her double hotel room for free.
This constitutes a tax benefit, writes the newspaper. Something that Lundby-Wedin says she was not aware.
