Sweden - Unions defend bargaining model - August 31, 2017

The trade union confederations have fiercely criticised a proposal from the opposition in parliament to introduce a new form of employment. The opposition Alliance came with the proposal to combine work with training and education, to a lower cost for the employers. The government joined the trade union criticism, by stating that an introduction by legislation is not the way forward. This could undermine a fundamental labour market principle, with wage negotiations being carried out between the employers' organisation and the trade unions.
