         adopted a specific “Salary Strategy”. This embraces different
         activities like communication with members and addressing
         the problem at employers’ and politicians’ level.


         Sustainable AI
         During fall 2018, the Association has been initiating “AI
         discussions” where experts from society and industry come
         together and debate on the subject of “Responsible AI” and
         what  an  organization  such  as  SI  can  do  to  influence  the
         technological  development  to  the  benefit  of  a  sustainable
         future. Initial focus has been on ethical questions. The goal
         is to come up with a policy recommendation as well as a
         material for the use of the regional organisations.

         Work around the clock
         The flexible working life where engineers can work where
         ever and whenever is presents also challenges. To frame the
         flexibility in a sustainable way for our members’ health and
         careers we have started a project trying to define a healthy,
         modern working life.

         Globalization and the Nordic Trade Union Model
         In August 2019, the Association hosted an event where local
         representatives from the Nordics came together to discuss
         how  to  strengthen  and  safeguard  the  Nordic cooperation
         model between employees and employers. As a follow up
         we will create stronger support for our local representatives
         to build knowledge and relations in order to keep and gain
         influence at the workplace. 
