Swedish labour movement

First of May 1890 in Sundsvall. The sign reads "8 hours of work, 8 hours of freedom, 8 hours of rest".
Steel workers in Sweden, circa 1950.

The labour movement in Sweden dates back to at least the 1850s, when Swedish workers initiated the organizing of previously spontaneous food riots into strikes, hence acting as an autonomous group.[1]
