Should new offers arise, LO may consider reconsidering its no to the labor law agreement that has been agreed upon by the Confederation of Swedish Companies and the PTK of employees. But for the moment, it is a fight in the negotiation movement and against the government investigation that applies, according to LO president Susanna Gideonsson.

– We definitely shouldn’t have the toy investigation. It’s not on the map, Gideonsson tells TT after a meeting with Labor Minister Eva Nordmark (S).
LO was the last from the Confederation of Swedish Companies and PTK to confess after negotiations between the three ended with a no from LO and a yes from the latter two.
– We analyze the reasons why we said no. “I have clarified that there were too many knots for the unions to say yes,” says the president of the LO.
As LO said no, in practice the organization will stand aside from the government and cooperation parties choosing to let the agreement between SN and PTK be the basis for updated labor legislation.
– Then we can monitor our members based on the position we have, says Susanna Gideonsson.
He adds that some of the issues that were on the table will be repeated in the contract negotiations that each of the LO unions now have with their counterparts.
Tunga IF Metall has already indicated that the union may later join the SN and PTK agreement. Susanna Gideonsson says it is up to each of the unions to do it if they wish, LO just coordinates. But she has not heard that there will be more unions along those lines, she says.
Susanna Gideonsson does not rule out that LO as a whole may come together at a later stage.
– If we get a good enough offer, we should review it, says the president of LO.
Labor Minister Eva Nordmark has said that she perceives the situation as the parties, especially SN and PTK, want some time to think and analyze the situation and how they should proceed with their agreement. Meanwhile, the government continues to work on the basis of the research proposal, called the Toijer Investigation in honor of researcher Gudmund Toijer.
