Unions want to get rid of existing collective agreements

Collective agreements "created for old work environment models" complicate the creation of solutions in the modern labor market, characterized by complexity, the ability to stay connected 24 hours a day, and the "roles intermittent ".

Therefore, old agreements need to be replaced by individual agreements that can "facilitate lifecycle gathering and maintenance of health". He writes Lee Wermelin and Jens Jacobsson, union president and federal director of union economics, at DN Debatt.

Both refer to their 44,000 members and believe that there is increased demand for this type of individual solutions. According to the union, current collective agreements are likely to both increase the mental health of those affected and adversely affect the competitiveness of businesses.

The current development of current collective agreements is slowing down and the future agreement should "foster a climate of innovation in business". In addition, be designed to "stimulate the driving forces of the individual". Lee Wermelin and Jens Jacobsson write that the good performance of employees can be better rewarded.

In the article of debate, they present several points to modernize the agreements: Individual solutions may mean working at home, flexible schedules or shortcuts, or negotiating more vacation days for the purpose of prevent mental health Achievements should be rewarded by allowing wages to be "localized and based on employee performance and business conditions".

The two representatives also argued that the process of wage formation should change with a focus on giving everyone the opportunity to pay a salary, requiring a change of leadership with the need for a "framing approach".

Union work also needs support, and the focus on claiming responsibility for skill development at the workplace is the last two paragraphs of the article's debate.
