The letter is addressed to the counterparty, the Employers' Alliance, the Swedish Football Association's chairman Karl-Erik Nilsson and Elitefootball Women's chairman Annika Grälls.
The players' union Fifpro is the sender of the letter written in English, which is signed by the general secretary Jonas Baer-Hofman and the European representative, the Norwegian Joachim Walltin.
- We feel that there is a questioning whether the players themselves should decide who represents them in the negotiation.
We want to put our foot down once and for all and clearly show that it is the players, through the players' association, who have the right to negotiate for themselves, says the Players' Association/Fifpro representative Caroline Jönsson.
The players' association, where Fifpro is the international organization, has been prepared to negotiate for a long time but has been met with a cold hand.
The other party wants to negotiate with the Unionen trade union.
"Want to close that door clearly"
- We have not been perceived as a negotiation option.
We clearly want to close that door again.
No one should be able to question that the players themselves want to choose who will represent them, says Jönsson.
What are the players saying?
- They feel disrespectfully treated, that they are not taken seriously, that they themselves should not be allowed to decide who will negotiate for them.
There is a frustration around that disrespect.
That's what they think is the most difficult, says Jönsson.
- With today's letter, we hope that there will be an end to the discussion.
It is we in the players' association who will sign the agreement on behalf of the players, says Jönsson, who sees dangers for the future if the agreement does not come into place.
- I sit internationally in Fifpro.
If Sweden is to have a chance to keep up with the development of women's football and continue to be at the forefront, a collective agreement is of utmost importance.
