Workers have had some golden years. Those who have had a job to go to’ve been able to see their real wages rise historically. With wage increases of around three per cent and almost no inflation, it has become well with supplements in your wallet.
But it must be over now, if employers decide. Upcoming wage movement kicks off in earnest after the summer. Then the employers point out that inflation is blown away and not much in the current situation suggests that it will take off.
– It is completely unrealistic to expect that there will be inflation during this period to any appreciable extent . And it affects the conditions much, says Carola Lemne.
You can not expect that the Riksbank will fix inflation up to two percent, which the unions tend to assume in their wage demands, consider Lemne. And the weak export performance without being able to raise prices allows scope for wage increases are extremely small, she reasons.
– understanding it seems to be different in different parts of the trade union movement, she says.
TT: When there is not much room for wage at all then?
– Not much.
TT: But if we become more effective in our job goes well to raise wages?
– Though we have almost no productivity growth at all. It is very close to zero. Then there is very little wage space, says Lemne.
– There is no self-view to be zero in wage increases, but in order to raise wages must increase competitiveness. You have to have productivity, she continues.
Many employers believe that rising wages in recent years, but they were able to raise prices, have eroded the gains. And that the state raise the payroll for young people, the government thinks, sturgeon Carola Lemne properly.
– In that situation make it more expensive to employ. . . What is needed is that it makes it easier, not that it makes it harder.
