“There are bad compromises that threaten the workers ‘movement”
“Stefan Löfven faces a difficult task”
“Aftonbladet’s leader board is the independent social democrat.”
“today, step Stefan Löfven on the scene to finish the short party congress in the congress hall in Örebro. Against all odds he can make it as prime minister and as the leader of a social democratic party that once again proved its ability to adapt to the political realities. In avslutningstalet, it will be named ”
“For a little less than 14 years ago, I saw Fredrik Reinfeldt to stand on the same stage and to convince their colleagues that it was time to let the winds of change. I will remember how he explained why it was time to abandon the party of perpetual whining about job security. Partiveteraner as Gunnar Hökmark muttered displeased afterwards.”
“Not so new.”
“We know that the policy reinfeldt’s new moderates represented in many ways similar to the Swedish conservatives have always stood for. It hit against pensioners, the sick and the unemployed and the disadvantaged people with strong and stable revenue.”
“Reinfeldt launched the New moderate party in april 2005. You could say that he came to Örebro with the task to get as much as possible of the old policy to fit in a new description.”
“Löfvens assignments in the last few days has in many ways been the opposite. He shall present a policy on important areas is dictated by the centerpartistiska partiideologer as if it were a traditional social democracy. It comes to job security and marknadshyrorna, but perhaps, above all, intervention.”
“When the trade union to the Union president Tobias Baudin a month ago announced that it pulled in kontantstödet to the Socialists, it brought strong emotions. In my journal described the decision as ”
“the Excitement was not about the money, about three million a year. The socialist parties ‘ apparatus neither stands or falls with the sum. However, perceived Union’s decision as a step away from one of the Swedish policy perhaps the most important cornerstones, the trade union-political cooperation. It is so called the cooperation between the social democrats and the LO-unions.”
“the Interpretation that something decisive could happen was enhanced by the Left party, during the intense promotion in the media, at the same time met with the leadership of the LO.”
“Myself, I picked up an interview I 2010 did with one of Tobias Baudins representatives, The current governor Ylva Thörn. She would finish her mission and we were just talking about the relationship between politics and trade union work. The conflict is not new.”
“Ylva Thörns soon ten-year-old formulations had been able to move from the current management in the Municipal. They are all about credibility as a trade union leader, and on the risk that the connection between the tray and the party is reduced to bargaining and financial compensation. But they are mainly to take advantage of the experience and to let them punch through in the political and trade-union practice.”
“In the material kongressombuden talked about in Örebro, sweden, described the cooperation between the trade unions and the social democratic party as the”
“the Conclusion is that there is a need for more joint trade union-political education and to the forms of political conversations in the workplace should be developed.”
“the margin of manoeuvre is missing”
“It is certainly excellent. The only question is, how large is the social Democrats ‘ room to listen to the experiences from the workplace and arbetslöshetsköer? How much room is there for the taking in the testimony of a health insurance in the maturity or to react when the trade unions in the service sector, describes the pressure on conditions of employment? What should you do with stories about the unworthy as housing conditions or concerns about technology?”
“the Issue became topical a few weeks ago, when the political parties who work together on pensions in an op-ed piece told how the retirement age should be increased by three years to the year 2026.”
“LO:a uk government minister defends Torbjörn Johansson called it a”
“We may assume that Annika Strandhäll and the social democratic negotiators in the pensionsgruppen think they brought the working people, the experience of the worn out physically and fades out mentally. They have tried to explain that a necessary reform of the system must take into account how the society creates different living conditions, health and even longevity.”
“We may assume that all that has been said. It just seems to not have played any role when the proposal come out on the other side.”
“Reduced war and rutavdrag”
“In the same way, we must assume that Stefan Löfven, Magdalena Andersson and other social democrats spoke of the need for a fairer redistribution during the government negotiations. The only problem is that the result was the elimination of war and the rut-deduction on miljonärsnivåer. And when Andersson or Video: in retrospect, have talked about gaps to be reduced, screaming Annie Lööf right out.”
“Stefan Löfven can speak with people out on the shop floor. I know this because I have been with when he has been in the workplace, both as union president and as party leader. But it helps little about the real politics is moving away from the people who are on the floor.”
“I’m not writing this to trivialize the problems after the elections. That Sweden finally got a government was necessary, that Stefan Löfven may lead it is an achievement. But the price can be high.”
“In a new report about gender equality from LO write the authors, among other things, the following about januariavtalet:”
“in Addition, warns that välfärde can be undermined, in any case, for the common people.the distance is perhaps not the leader of the Löfvens policy LO-the report describes, but it describes the program the government Löfven has taken it upon themselves to implement. To highlight and explain the difference will require more than trade union medlemsutbildningar and systematic recruitment drives among union members.”
“If reinfeldt’s task in 2005 was difficult, it is Stefan Löfven must succeed, with probably even more difficult.”
“The really big challenge for the trade union-political cooperation is, perhaps, not the unions’ need for independence, or the difficulties to recruit working people to the policy. The really big threat is that the political compromises, forcing the social democrats to defend growing inequality and policies that disadvantage ordinary working people.”
