The unions Kommunal and IF Metall – large unions within LO, the Swedish Trade Union Confederation – have joined the agreements on work life security, transition, and employment protection between Svenskt Näringsliv, the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise, and PTK, the Council for Negotiation and Cooperation.
– A predominant majority of Sweden´s employees and employers now stand behind a broad, balanced and long-awaited reform of the labour market, says Mattias Dahl, Deputy Director General, Confederation of Swedish Enterprise.
– It´s now up to the Government and to the Parliament to implement the necessary changes in the legislation, says Mattias Dahl.
The Swedish Government has in January 2021 appointed three parallel public inquiries to make it possible for the Parliament to implement the parties agreement to take effect before the midyear 2022.
