Blekinge
Blekinge (, old da, Bleking) is one of the traditional Swedish provinces (), situated in the southern coast of the geographic region of Götaland, in southern Sweden. It borders Småland, Scania and the Baltic Sea. It is the country's second-smallest province by area (only Öland is smaller), and the smallest province located on the mainland. The name "Blekinge" comes from the dialectal adjective , which corresponds to the nautical term for "dead calm". Administration The historical provinces of Sweden serve no administrative function. However, Blekinge is the only province, besides Gotland, which covers exactly the same area as the administrative county, which is Blekinge County. Blekinge was granted its current arms in 1660 at the time of the funeral of King Charles X Gustav of Sweden (1622–1660) based on a seal from the 15th century.

Swedish Agricultural Workers' Union
The Swedish Agricultural Workers' Union ( sv, Svenska Lantarbetareförbundet, SLF) was a trade union representing farm workers in Sweden. The first Swedish Agricultural Workers' Union was established in 1908, with the merger of the Agricultural Workers' Union of Central Sweden and the Agricultural Workers' Union of Scania, but it failed to grow, and dissolved in 1912.

It initially had 1,717 members, and was based in Nyköping, but moved its headquarters to Stockholm in 1921, by which time membership had grown to 15,674. That year, the Forest and Agricultural Workers' Union of Central Sweden rejoined, having split away in 1919.{{cite book , last1=Ebbinghaus , first1=Bernhard , last2=Visser , first2=Jelle , title=Trade Unions in Western Europe Since 1945 , date=2000 , publisher=Palgrave Macmillan , location=Basingstoke , isbn=0333771125 , page=626–630 The Agricultural W ...
