Baudin: “I will be much tougher” – Today’s Society

Work to clean out the old has only just begun and we have a long way to go. Local government is facing tough challenges. The past six months has left deep scars in the organization. Those who lost most of the recent turmoil is the union members and elected representatives. Many trade unionists in the workplace has been forced to devote his time to explain the scandals, while important union issues to stand aside.

I do fully the frustration that many feel when the talks focused on entertainment rather than contract issues. MWU members have rightly questioned his membership in the union. This is not sustainable in the long run if we are to continue to be the largest and strongest unions. As a member, one must always feel that you have a strong organization behind when taking the discussion with their employers.

MWU members are the cornerstone of the Swedish welfare state. It is kommunalare every day taking care of our children, care for our sick, and gives us a secure old age. There are those, usually low-paid women, who wear the society on their shoulders.

How is rewarded most of their efforts? Less resources that lead to stress and pressure, tough conditions with part-time jobs and split workouts that make it almost impossible to live a normal life outside of work. Many also become sick. There must be an end to it!

I is elected to the Municipal President, I will do everything that the union will grow and become stronger. Three things are particularly important:

first Put members’ health and safety, wages and working conditions in the center. It is our damned duty to ensure that conditions are getting better. We must strengthen our organization by including raising workplace delegates. I will also deal with the bad culture that seems to have sat in the walls in some parts of the Federation.

2. Be much tougher against politicians. Society must seriously begin to focus on welfare again. The welfare should not only be maintained, it will be better and apply to all on equal terms. The workforce must increase and 100,000-century needs to be employed. Success requires that all forms of diamond lanes disappear and that money does not run off to the well-being of the capitalists tax havens.

3rd Strengthen opinion formation. Local government is Scandinavia’s largest trade union, and it should also be noticed in the debate. We will seriously set the agenda and influence its development so that it benefits the Municipal members.

I ready to work with Kommunal members and elected representatives take the battle against employers, politicians, welfare capitalists and other when dealing with members’ best. For what is good for MWU members are also good for Sweden. A good and functioning welfare is a prerequisite for growth and development.

I absolutely convinced that the major fighting is ahead of us and that a better society is possible. It is today, as before, of equality and justice. We need to get more people to see and understand that without the MWU members stay Sweden.
