Turbulence on Spira – should have "pushed" employees

Recently, one of the musicians was fired at Spira in Jönköping. The background is that the person three weeks ago should have pushed one of the leaders at a meeting. According to the director of human resources, there are two witnesses to the event.

"We mean that he was dealing with violence against a colleague.The violence may not occur and that is the reason the dismissal ended," said Joakim Silva, director of human resources of the Jönköping region.

Should be canceled

Symf, the Swedish association of professional musicians, believes that there is no reason to stop because no knot has ever arrived.

"There was a call and our member then put his hand on the shoulders of the person, but the violence did not take place," said Anders Filen, negotiator at Symf union.

In today's debate, it is also worth discussing Spira's return problems which have been traced back in time.

"We need to make a change, I think the region will also understand that it is a situation that we need to change.

Problem with Spira

What happens if the region does not want to withdraw the cancellation?

– Then we can continue the legal path. In the end, it is the Labor Court, explains Anders Filen.

The department head in the region confirms that there is a problem between employees and management for a long time, but indicates that the work environment is now better.

With regard to today's debate, the region will not delay the divorce against the musician.

– No, we are very safe. It's so bad, so we'll stick to our decision. If violence happens, we must act, says Joakim Silva.

Did you report the incident to the police?

– No not right now. It can happen, but it's up to the individual to decide, "said Joakim Silva.

At the end of today's debate, Anders Filen, Symf, said that it was impossible to reach an agreement with Region Jönköping County and that the union would now begin key negotiations.
