"I am glad that we have found a solution that combines the Swedish labour market model with existing Community law in a well-balanced way. It is possible to retain the Swedish model while respecting Community law. We do not need to introduce a statutory minimum wage or extend collective agreements to be generally applicable. Swedish collective agreements constitute the standard regulation of conditions of employment for posted workers," says Minister for Employment Sven Otto Littorin in response to the Government's decision on the proposal to the Council on Legislation. The proposal to the Council on Legislation is based on the Laval report that was submitted to the Government on 12 December 2008. The proposed measures mean that certain conditions must be met before trade unions may take industrial action to bring about a collective agreement with a foreign company that posts workers to Sweden. The proposal also means that the Swedish Work Environment Authority must provide information on Swedish collective agreements that may be applicable when posting workers to Sweden. The new conditions for industrial action mean that the terms of collective agreements over which trade unions take industrial action must be taken from a Swedish central industry-wide agreement and may only regulate certain areas - such as pay, working hours and holidays. The trade unions must also take into consideration that the posted workers may already work on terms that meet Swedish standards, for example under a foreign collective agreement. It is proposed that the amendments to the legislation should enter into force on 1 April 2010.

Stephanie Mudge About the author Stephanie Mudge Stephanie Mudge is Research Fellow at SPERI and an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of California Davis. Her research centres on the historical study of culture, democratic politics, economic policy, and the constitution of political authority.

  • Snabbprotokoll 2006/07:61, Torsdagen Den 15 Februari-Kl. 12.00
    Riksdagens protokoll 2006/07:61 Torsdagen den 15 februari Protokoll Kl. 12.00 – 19.02 2006/07:61 1 § Ledighet Förste vice talmannen meddelade att Marie Engström (v) ansökt om ledighet under tiden den 15 februari–11 mars. Kammaren biföll denna ansökan. Förste vice talmannen anmälde att Anne-Marie Wallouch (v) inträtt som ersättare för Marie Engström. 2 § Aktuell debatt: A-kassan Aktuell debatt: A-kassan Anf. 1 JOSEFIN BRINK (v): Herr talman! För knappt två månader sedan stod vi i den här kamma- ren och debatterade försämringarna i a-kassan. Den debatten hade före- gåtts av massiva protester och hård kritik från remissinstanserna. Det fanns en stor oro, och frågetecknen var väldigt många, eftersom rege- ringen i sin iver att få loss pengar till sina skattesänkningar helt enkelt struntat i att utreda konsekvenserna av sitt förslag. När nu två månader har gått visar det sig att det kanske hade varit bra om regeringen lyssnat lite mer på kritikerna. Medlemstalet i a-kassorna har sedan vi senast stod här rasat med minst 40 000 personer netto. Jag säger minst för att siffrorna ännu inte är klara. Det handlar om personer som aktivt har hört av sig och begärt utträde ur a-kassan. Först fram i april kommer alla de som helt enkelt slutar att betala att börja synas i statistiken. De allra flesta a-kassor är eniga om att det är då som vi verk- ligen kommer att se hur stort medlemsraset blir. Man kan alltså konstatera att inkomsttryggheten för löntagarna lik- som finansieringen av själva försäkringen redan har börjat naggas i kan- ten efter bara en och en halv månad med den nya försämrade a-kassan.
