Follow strike the minute
Work Minister Robert Eriksson (FRP) was greeted with booing when he gave a short speech in front of the strikers who demonstrated in front of Parliament.
Eriksson put forward government proposal almost as a gift for Norwegian workers and said that he wants to help those who stand outside to get into the labor market.
– Good working people. I have a dream. A dream that all who are unemployed shall become part of the serious work, he opened with reference to the historical speech of civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr..
Foot in
Eriksson believes the Government’s proposal that it should be easier to use temporary employment will cause the threshold into the job market gets lower for including young people and the disabled.
– It is better a foot in the labor market than both feet outside, argued Eriksson.
Eriksson made a great point that he is pleased that the LO boss on TV2 today admitted that the proposal does not involve more overtime and disadvantage.
Minister promised to reverse the changes
The man Eriksson pulpit, Labour leader Jonas Gahr Støre, was met on a fairly different way of strikers. To cheers, he said among other things the following:
– It had been more honest of the Minister of Labour to say that this is a reform to strengthen employers’ rights. Again, the government has shown that it does not understand the working day for most people.
Minister promised that the changes made in the Working Environment Act of Right / FRP government will be reversed as soon as Labor comes back into government offices.
– The most temporary of this amendment is going to be the amendment itself, he said.
Left will support the government
– There will be changes underway in negotiations in Parliament, but there is much in the Government proposal which we agree, says Liberal Sveinung Rotevatn said.
Left holding the support of the government’s proposal for general admission to temporary employment, one of the proposals have met the greatest resistance among those who strikes today.
– We must ensure good and fair rules in all sectors – also in the state, where the extent of temporary employment is high, says Rotevatn said.
Sunday Work
Left is also determined to secure a majority for new rules for overtime and Sunday work and increased age limits in the workplace.
– Here I think the government’s proposal is well . There is no talk about working more overtime than today or more Sundays – year as a whole. It’s about creating a flexibility that ensures that you can work more Sundays and more overtime periods, then take time off later, says Rotevatn.
He believes the proposal is beneficial for workers in general, not least parents who have shared custody of children.
– They can work less during periods when they are caring for children and more during periods when they do not have it, he said.
Changes
Rotevatn says government proposal could still be changed at certain points, such as when it comes to restrictions proposed to the companies that will use temporary workers.
– We must look closely at whether these limitations are practical and sensible for companies and good enough to handle any abuse, he said.
Stricter penalties for breaches of the Working Environment Act is another suggestion Rotevatn question.
– I note that there are few factual arguments for the positive effect of such a proposal, he said.
KrF skeptical
Government other supporting party KrF opposes a general right to temporary appointments. Party hopes to get government parties and the Liberals with another solution:
– We will instead that the rules which have been in the state education sector will also apply in the private and municipal sectors, says Christian Democrat Kjell Ingolf Ropstad to NTB.
He stressed that the party has not yet taken a position on the details of the proposals of the government, but goes a long way to flag support the proposal which makes it possible to work more during certain periods and then taking out free .
– It rhymes with what we think about a family friendly workplace. More frequent Sunday work we are more uncertain, he said.
Labour and Social Affairs Committee shall submit a recommendation on the matter within 17 March. Parliament is scheduled to consider the case on March 24.
