Despite the failure of the labor law negotiations, center leader Annie Lööf is still waiting for the social partners to reach an agreement.
Otherwise, the state labor law investigation proposal applies, he states in Ekot’s Saturday interview.
– It is a question of trust between the Center Party and the Social Democrats, between Stefan Löfven and me, Annie Lööf tells Swedish radio.
After labor law negotiations between LO, PTK and the Swedish Business Confederation failed, the Social Democratic leader and Prime Minister Stefan Löfven is sitting in a vise. For now, under the January agreement between the government, C and L, the changes to the labor law will be carried out through legislation, which is based on research proposals that LO cannot swallow.
One of the proposals is that employers can exempt five people from the priority rules in the event of dismissal.
Narrow hand
The Social Democrats also believe that the research proposal does not maintain the balance between the social partners.
But Annie Lööf points to the agreement of the parties.
– It is basically a question of whether the Social Democrats can be trusted to reach an agreement. Is it something you sign and shake hands with something worthwhile? And I think it is an afterthought of S to now try to postpone this investigation that we have jointly appointed, with an investigator they have proposed, he says in Saturday’s interview.
Better agree
The hope for the hard-pressed Stefan Löfven is that LO or the Swedish Business Confederation will somehow agree to resume the collapsed negotiations, although the parties do not see that possibility.
The Center Party is willing to give the parties a few more weeks to agree on labor legislation. If this is unsuccessful, the Labor Law Inquiry proposal will be transposed into law, Annie Lööf clarifies.
But he still prefers that the parties reach an agreement. According to her, the proposals that were on the negotiating table were even better than the research proposals:
– But now they have not reached the end and then we have well worked legal proposals that we can now implement.
The consultation period for research proposals expires on October 26.
