Aarebrot about severance pay:– Embarrassing of the Store to turn over – VG

Valgforsker and Frank Aarebrot (69) mean Aps turnaround in etterlønnsaken is populist.

– my Point is that this was a good decision, and it was well justified. And so dare not Støre and the Labour party to stand against the spread in VG? I am not surprised that the conservative party turned in it is the such behavior we expect of populister – they turn cloak for the wind. But not Ap and Støre, races Aarebrot.

Monday wrote VG on stortingspolitikernes christmas present to himself: The extended remuneration after termination of employment for stortingsrepresentanter who are struggling to get a new job, from one to two years.

however, pipa received a different sound. Posting in the VG, it attracted considerable attention and in the course of the day turned both the Progress, the progress party, the Left – and the Labour party, a few hours after that party leader Jonas Gahr Støre defended the scheme.

He points out that there is a difference in wages for the paid work on the remuneration of public office:

– To be an mp is a public office. It is not work! Here, there is a big difference! Have you ever heard of the working environment act apply to stortingsrepresentanter? No – because they receive not the wages, they receive compensation for the loss of the salary they had in the job they left.

Focus on severance pay

Frank Aarebrot believes that the focus instead should be directed at senior managers in large companies with public ownership – what they will receive in severance pay if they do a bad job and have to go from the job.

He believes that there is nothing in the situation has changed since the parliamentary majority turns from one treatment to the next:

we have experienced quite frequently, after Carl I. Hagen and the progress party entered the sacred halls. Where facing one cloak – just look back at the treatment of the case about stortingsgarasjen, oh my god, ” says Aarebrot.

do Not like

– But it resembles pretty much on the salary and severance pay, it stortingsrepresentantene receive?

make a difference, and it was a good arrangement that they get compensated for the time until they get a job again afterwards. We had just one minister of petroleum and energy, which almost had at sosialen, says 69-year-old.

He says this about Jonas Gahr Støres turnaround:

– It is embarrassing. Such we have seen in the progress party, but with the Ap – I have not seen anywhere else, ” says Aarebrot.

Støre: – So that it was incorrect

Ap-leder Jonas Gahr Støre disagree with Aarebrot. He says to VG:

– We disagree with the Aarebrot. It was right by the Labour party to turn in this case. We saw that this was wrong, and fixed it up. We as elected officials depend on that people experience our conditions as fair. We are dependent on trust. We do not want a policy for severance pay, which weakens the trust.
