According to the LO unions, the negotiations fell due to deterioration in job security.
We do not yet know which issues decided where.
Here are five points from the agreement that was rejected:
Sequence rules
According to the las proposal, employers have the right to make exceptions from the priority rules for three employees and three salaried employees in the event of dismissal.
Today, the employer has the right to make exceptions for a maximum of two people in companies with a maximum of ten employees.
In the las inquiry, it is proposed that employers be given the right to make exceptions for five employees and five salaried employees, respectively.
Factual reasons for termination
According to the proposed practice, as before, dismissals without objective grounds can be declared invalid and that the employer must warn and offer relocation before an employee can be dismissed.
However, if the employer has offered a relocation and there are still objective reasons for dismissal, there is no obligation to offer a new relocation.
The term "factual grounds for personal reasons" is replaced by "factual reasons".
Factual reasons include refusal to work, difficulties in co-operation, abuse and criminal acts.
In the las investigation, it is proposed that the possibility of declaring a dismissal invalid should be removed in companies with less than 15 employees.
Adjustment support
According to the proposal, those who have lost their jobs should be offered adjustment support in the form of, for example, counseling or training to strengthen their position in the labor market.
This presupposes that the government introduces a new adjustment organization that offers and finances support for employees who are not covered by collective agreements.
An inquiry shall be appointed and the parties shall be involved in setting the directives.
Fixed-term employment
According to the proposal, the rules on general fixed-term employment will be replaced by a new form of employment called special fixed-term employment.
Employees who have worked for more than 9 months during a three-year period shall be given priority
.
Today, the limit is twelve months of work over a three-year period.
The las inquiry also proposes preferential rights after nine months of employment.
Staffing companies
According to the proposal, an employee who has been hired at the same workplace for more than 24 months during a three-year period must be offered employment.
If an employee has refused employment, the employer does not have to offer a job again even if the employment continues.
Instead of a job, companies should be able to offer staffing employees two monthly salaries.
After such an offer, the company no longer needs to offer a job even if the employment continues.
Today, there are no requirements for customer companies to offer jobs to hired staff.
