This paper revisits the development of the canonical Swedish wage bargaining model, from the 1930s to the 1950s. The question at the core of the debate is: how did Sweden achieve “good” wage bargaining institutions -- good, in the sense of facilitating investment, employment, and controlled inflation? The conventional account focuses on the actions of employers and trade unions in export industry, and a cross-class alliance between the two. This paper questions this account. The paper builds on archival sources in the Swedish Labour Movement's Archives and Library in Stockholm: the minutes from the main trade union confederation's yearly wage policy discussions, in preparation for bargaining rounds. In total, some 1,500 pages of wage policy discussion. I find that the export sector cross-class alliance played a very small role, and that macro-corporatist concerns, that the labour movement had to take responsibility of all of society and pursue a planned wage policy, was much more important. This has theoretical implications for the analysis of wage bargaining institutions in general and the Swedish model in particular.

本文回顾了从 20 世纪 30 年代到 1950 年代瑞典规范工资谈判模式的发展。争论的核心问题是：瑞典如何实现“良好”的工资谈判制度——在促进投资、就业和控制通货膨胀的意义上是良好的？传统的叙述侧重于出口行业中雇主和工会的行动，以及两者之间的跨阶级联盟。本文对这一说法提出质疑。该文件以斯德哥尔摩瑞典劳工运动档案馆和图书馆的档案来源为基础：主要工会联合会年度工资政策讨论的会议纪要，为谈判做好准备。工资政策讨论总共约 1,500 页。我发现出口部门的跨阶级联盟发挥的作用很小，而宏观社团主义的关注，即劳工运动必须对全社会负责并奉行有计划的工资政策，则更为重要。这对于一般工资谈判制度、特别是瑞典模式的分析具有理论意义。
