Important retreat from the government





(THIS ARTICLE IS MACHINE TRANSLATED by Google from Norwegian)

The Government parties' retreat in the matter of temporary employment is a significant victory for Norwegian workers, given that the parties are firmly in the fact that the matter will be returned to the Labor Law Committee even if budget cooperation with the Ap does not apply. The parties' retreat came as a direct response to the fact that the Labor Party did not want to enter into state budget negotiations without the proposal dead. SV has also made similar demands. Thus, it is inconceivable that the bourgeois parties will pick it up again before possibly returning to Frp for a new round of negotiations.

For Ap and SV, of course, it must be out of date to negotiate the employee's professional rights in a budget settlement, and it is therefore good to see that the two parties have so far been unequivocal in their rejection. According to Nettavisen, Aps fiscal politician Hill-Marta Solberg on Thursday, creates uncertainty about whether the claim is absolute is therefore worrying. The overall pressure that the AP, SV and LO and other trade unions have exerted against the government has been absolutely crucial in turning the proposal back. This overall front must be maintained.

What we fear, however, is that the ruling parties are finally turning to the Frp for negotiations, and that the proposal will be on the table again. We do not believe that the AP and the SV should accept any negotiation results with the government parties, but this matter is so important that the left must put other prestige aside. If it is possible for Ap and / or SV to create a budget with the Right, KrF and the Left that draws in the right direction, and where temporary employment is not the theme, it should happen.

At the same time, the trade union movement must still be prepared to take action against the proposal, if it is brought forward again. We do not know this until the budget is in place. And in the longer term, one must be ready to stand against the proposal if it were to become part of the Labor Law Committee's recommendation.
