Pontus Georgsson, Chairman of Pappers, is surprised that Stefan Löfven (S) wants to go ahead with the deal that PTK and the Swedish Business Confederation have agreed upon. At the same time, he is disappointed that some LO unions, such as IF Metall, have welcomed the news.
– It was a united LO that said no, and the government does the opposite. That’s not good, Georgsson says.
Seven of the 14 unions in LO, Byggnads, Seko, Transport, Fastighets, Pappers, Elektrikerna and Målarna, criticize the government’s decision in a joint statement. They repeat that the proposal on the table is “a declaration of war” against LO.
– It’s a disappointment. Completely excluding Swedish employees from the right to a safe labor market is reprehensible. The Swedish Business Confederation’s proposal is in many ways worse than Toijer’s so-called investigation, says Johan Lindholm, president of Byggnads.
Building: “Sad for S”
Lindholm demands that LO hold an additional board meeting to discuss the way forward.
– The basic problem is that the policy was generally tended, that we had to negotiate under threat. It is contrary to the Swedish model and will damage you in the long run. It is sad that the Social Democratic Workers’ Party prefers to listen to the Center Party, the Liberals and the Confederation of Swedish Companies than the members of the LO.
Do you see any lightning?
– I think the Swedish people want security in the job market. It may well be postponed to the future and decided in a parliamentary election, says Johan Lindholm.
Wants to Influence YOU – Liberals Say No
Tobias Baudin, president of Kommunal, believes that Löfven’s decision was expected.
The good news is that Toijer’s investigation is dismissed once and for all. It’s just a matter of spitting on your fists and taking further steps to ensure LO members are safe. I hope politicians are open to making changes to the proposal, otherwise I seem very concerned about the time to come, says Tobias Baudin on Expressen TV.
LO president Susanna Gideonsson says on Expressen TV that she is “150 percent convinced” that they will be able to influence the deal.
– It won’t be able to pass over us. If the government is going to make new legislation, we will definitely be involved, he says.
However, Arman Teimouri, a spokesman for liberal labor market policy, closes the door for LO to gain more influence.
– To be very clear against S, we do not accept that LO should receive a sour cream in addition to the agreement that has been reached. It is also irresponsible for LO to say no to the end and now demand more. It’s the content between PTK and the Confederation of Swedish Companies that applies, nothing more, says Teimouri.
