Not yet. Last week ERICY was in discussion with the Social Democrat Party and the Unions. The point was if ERICY would really have to outsource. Accroding to the unions and the Social Democrat Party, they had to consider other options. This is what is called the Swedishness price investors have to pay.

"President and CEO Kurt Hellstrom`s and others` arguments offer a reason for a warning. Not in any world, neither the political nor the corporate, is there only one alternative," they wrote. The four were the SDP party secretary Lars Stjernkvist, the LO chief economist Dan Andersson, the Linkoping municipal executive chairman Lena Mico and Metall`s representative in Linkoping Ove Elf. They pointed that the arguments in favor of outsourcing would have been stronger if it had been clear that Ericsson was comparing different options and allowed an open, internal debate on the issue. "The questions that stands is if the problem is really within production or whether it isn`t the marketing that is the culprit. If the criticism turns out to be justified, there is reason to seriously question if outsourcing is the right medicine," they wrote.
