Relations between the the LO and the confederation of Swedish Enterprise is cooler than in a long time. LO called on Saturday for an extraordinary press conference to talk about the organisation believes that the confederation of Swedish Enterprise is lying.
that got the cup to overflow was to the confederation of Swedish Enterprise in the morning, gone out with a press release in which the employers ‘ association says that LO closed the door for talks on simple jobs as an opportunity to bring in newcomers in the labour market. It is not true, according LO president Karl-Petter Thorwaldsson.
” They just want to paint up LO as no-man. The confederation of Swedish Enterprise is going out with now is lying straight through.
Thorwaldsson, says that it is just the opposite.
– the confederation of Swedish Enterprise says that it is our fault, but this is because they have never had any mandate from their members. We met last Thursday to determine the date for the negotiations and now they say that we have discontinued the negotiations. It is clear that they have sought a mandate for these negotiations in the post and received ” no ” from their affiliates.
further show that LO is not unwilling, stressed Karl-Petter Thorwaldsson, several times, that is LO remain interested in the conversation.
– the Merits of the case is too important. To get newcomers on the labour market is not a game, it is about people of flesh and blood.
A mejlkonversation between LO and the confederation of Swedish Enterprise, where the most recent email is dated 12 december, confirms the picture that the two organisations was prepared to conclude the call.
since Then, organisations have had an open conflict in the Dagens Nyheter op-ed piece where the confederation of Swedish Enterprise ceo Carolina Lemne demanded concessions from the LO, and requested a special form of employment for low-skilled workers with 75 per cent of the lägstalön. In addition, it would be the employer’s contribution is abolished for the form of employment and there would not be any requirement for collective bargaining agreements.
Move brought a strong reaction from LO:s’s head of negotiations Torbjörn Johansson, who said that Lemne opened for a society similar to that which existed in the early 1900s.
We believe that the LO through the various moves the last few days have shown that they lack the mandate to do what is required.
In the confederation of Swedish Enterprise press release on Saturday said that "LO-management closes the door to effective action".
“I have not alleged that the LO has violated any negotiation, but this is about to given what LO has said, it is our overall assessment that the man is not prepared to do what is required,” says Carola Lemne.
You write that "LO closed the door"?
” We believe that the LO through the various moves the last few days have shown that they lack the mandate to do what is required. Then we waste just each other’s time in the call.
do you Have a mandate for these talks?
” Yes, we’ve been completely in agreement internally about the call. We have tried to do in a year.
In an interview with SvD after the press conference says Karl-Petter Thorwaldsson that he, at an extraordinary meeting of the board ahead of today’s press conference has been given the mandate to conclude agreements with individual industries.
” Actually, I think that we are quite consistent. Now, we are ready to negotiate directly with the industries if there are members in the confederation of Swedish Enterprise who want to proceed.
In the leaked mejlkonversationen opens the confederation of Swedish Enterprise for even lower salaries: a salary of somewhere between 50 and 75 per cent of the minimum wage in the applicable collective bargaining agreement.
