1. A ban on overtime for all full-time and part-time employees concerned. The ban applies in respect of working hours which were agreed as of 24 October 2007.
2. A ban on the recruitment and hiring of new staff.
3. These measures will take effect from Monday 5 November 2007 from 00.00 and will continue until agreement has been reached between the parties or until further notice.
   

Total withdrawal of labour for employees of the following companies: Gate Gourmet Sweden AB, GG Logistik AB, Göteborg City Airport, Nordic Aero AB, Tärnafjällens Flygplats AB and West Air Sweden AB.

These measures will take effect from Thursday 8 November 2007 from 00.00 and will continue until agreement has been reached between the parties or until further notice.
