In this essay I have studied the Swedish Working Class whose part of LO.Ideological texts in LO- Magazines is used to quote texts by collective orindividual terms. Method and theory material show high level of solidarity andequality while theory shows higher level of individualism and autonomy. Myresearch is closer to Boréus than Blocks. Politics taking under the 1980: s apowerful right turns holding a steady course through my material.The question in the essay is: What vision on the collective shows in theLO- Magazine in a time during individualization? Answer to this question is thatthe collective unofficially through LO: s: staff on central level tries to showstrength and unity with terms like solidarity and equality between the sexes. Thisis conclusive to maintain low wages and inflations down so not the big part ofwomen in low-wage groups of income wages gap appear between differentsalaries in the LO-collective. The other picture is more official and show clearly agap between ground vision in LO on solidarity and equality especially membersinside the Union choose individualism, freedom and justice not is part of lowinflations politic with salaries who generate to low taxes to the public sector.
