Our Sonera US team gave our Nordic partners our best efforts and great results.  We gave them gains exceeding $1.5 billion dollars.  Our Nordic partners seized our 3% share of those gains.  Finland and Sweden approved those seizures.

 We found honest and fair ways to “do the right thing,” to “create value”, and to “make good things happen” in the United States for all stakeholders.  We risked a lot for and delivered a lot to all stakeholders.  We honestly and fairly earned a full measure of financial security and future opportunities for our families. 

 Sonera seized our team’s incentive earnings.  Sonera then protected three other team’s incentive earnings.  Sonera seized our earnings by giving our Sonera US team shares in a worthless Nordic-style incentive scheme.  Then Sonera sheltered three favored business units from the adverse affects of its policies and delays.  Sonera’s Board sought expert guidance and tried hard to do the “right thing” for three of its start-up business units.  Sonera gave each of these units their own individually tailored US-style incentive scheme.  Each of these new schemes contained favorable pricing and vesting terms.

 Recently, Sweden put an end to incentive schemes for TeliaSonera Group Management.  TeliaSonera’s Board promptly agreed to a 30% increase in Group Management’s base pay.  TeliaSonera Group Management and our Sonera US team both produced great results.  Group Management got prompt favorable treatment.  Our team got nothing.  TeliaSonera refuses to discuss any honest and fair outcome for our team.

The problem seems to be that Nordic political leaders do not want to pay US style incentive compensation for exceptional results in the US.  Nordic leaders accept special treatment for favored Nordic executives.  Nordic leaders impose the limits of their policies and standards as well as the adverse effects of their delays and decisions on US citizens working in the United States.  Nordic leaders rationalize and justify seizing our earnings and assets.  They chose to sacrifice our families’ honestly and fairly earned financial security and future opportunities to the false God of Nordic political correctness.

 Trustworthy trading partners do not conjure up ways to seize their partner’s stake in a great success.  Rather they work smart and hard to protect their partners’ interests.

 Who is Greedy?  The Sonera US team that created great value or Nordic leaders who want 100% of that value?

 If you think Nordic leaders are not trustworthy, fire them.  Stop buying goods from Sweden and Finland.

We choose to treat Nordic citizens, as we would like to be treated.

We ask Nordic leaders to choose to treat us in the same manner.

 

We worked, smart, hard and fast to create opportunities and value for Sonera in the US.

We captured opportunities generated by the US economy and US entrepreneurial drive.

We captured gains exceeding $1.6 billion for Sonera in the United States.

We are pleased and proud that we delivered great results for all stakeholders.

We are pleased and proud that we earned a secure future for our families.

 

Most of those gains, 97%, belong to TeliaSonera’s shareowners.

Most of those gains belong to the Citizens of Sweden and Finland.

Most of those gains will ultimately pay for Nordic social services.

Most citizens in Sweden and Finland will benefit from our work.

Only 3% of those gains belong to our team and other US citizens.

 

Sonera’s leaders seized our small 3% stake in our great success.

Sonera’s leaders switched us to a worthless share of their financial mess.

Sonera’s leaders discriminated against our team and all US citizens.

Finland’s’ leaders encouraged and supported seizing our earnings.

TeliaSonera, Sweden and Finland’s leaders support ongoing seizures.

 

Why do Nordic leaders think Nordic rules apply for work by US citizens in the United States?

Why do Nordic leaders think it is right to violate our constitutional protections?

Why do Nordic leaders think it is right to violate treaties, agreements and OECD Guidelines?

Why do Nordic leaders think it is right of violate TeliaSonera’s Shared Values

Why do Nordic leaders think it is right of violate TeliaSonera’s Code of Ethics

 

Why do Nordic leaders think it is honest and fair to seize our share of a great success?

Why do Nordic leaders think they can protect their citizens but not US partners?

Why do Nordic leaders think they can steal our children’s education, health, and social security?

Why do Nordic leaders think they can steal the future from our children and grandchildren?

Why do Nordic leaders think US citizens will continue to purchase goods from Nordic Cheats?

 

We gave all Nordic citizens great gains to pay for education, health, and social security.

We earned monies for all of those needs for our children and grandchildren.

We at Nordic Ethics stand ready to solve this situation honestly and fairly.

We invite Nordic leaders to work with us to do just that.

 

We ask US citizens to give Finland and Sweden a timeout.

Stop buying goods and services from Finland and Sweden.

 

We invite all interested parties to evaluate our point of view.
