Lower Swedish wages. That's what the blue Alliance government wanted in 2006. That's how the Alliance's attack on wages began. Fatally, the Blue Alliance eroded the union affiliation. Another attack was to make it more difficult to get social security and benefits. Consequently, this blue constellation lowered the compensation levels of social security and benefits.

The red-greens must protect freedom and solidarity
Almost as many die in workplace accidents as in gang crime. Hundreds of workers, especially men, kill themselves every year because of the hard working life. The welfare increases of 2014-18 were too weak if wonderful and the slaughter of LAS and the attack on the low rent system and the tax cuts for the rich 2018-2022 horrible. Those who were hit hardest by the…

Ola Bergström, one of the experts in the state inquiry into employment law, is deeply critical of the deterioration. The Center Party refers to him, but he sees the Center Party's plans himself: "The /..../las investigation's proposal changes the balance of power between the parties because the employer can make exceptions to the order of rotation without agreement with the workers' organization.

It damages both welfare and reduces purchasing power. If you want to strengthen the tenancy, you can…
Everyone has the right to a reasonable rent
The moderates decided in the last congress in the fall of 2017 that before the 2018 election, they would work to introduce a rental system that is more reminiscent of market rents. What does that mean? In Sweden today we have a so-called use value system. This means that the rents in the public housing companies are set based on various social factors: the location of the home, the proximity to shops and community services, etc....
