The state as employer

The party programme explicitly requires that permanent employment be re-established as the norm and that temporary work agencies be banned, which bears the requirement that state agencies be directed away from hiring temporary work agencies. The election manifesto points out temporary work as a source of insecurity. The plan also requires efforts for the right to work and livelihood for people with non-normative disability, which supports an evaluated and expanded practical work placement initiative.

• temp work creates insecurity»Otryggheten skapas genom tillfälliga anställningar, sms-jobb, gig-jobb, deltidsjobb och bemanningsjobb.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Insecurity is created through temporary employment, SMS jobs, gig work, part-time work and temporary work agency jobs.”

The plan's commitment is that the public sector shall come first and that more people can work full-time in permanent jobs, which speaks against state authorities relying on staffing companies. The plan also wants to see more individually designed services to create jobs and training for people with disabilities, which supports the requirement to evaluate and build on the internship positions. The programme establishes that all employees shall have good working conditions and secure livelihood.

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The party programme wants to protect functioning labour law and secure employment forms, emphasizes that conditions must be improved for those with weak connection to the labour market and that employees in publicly financed activities should have the right to full-time work. The election manifesto states that no one should be without a job because assistive devices are missing in the workplace. Directing government agencies away from staffing companies and developing internship positions for people with disabilities is therefore supported.

• secure employment in the public sectordecisive»finansierad verksamhet ska ha rätt till heltid med« (party programme ↗)“financed activities should have the right to full-time work with”
• assistive devices should not hinder employment»Ingen ska heller vara utan jobb för att rätt sorts hjälpmedel inte finns att tillgå på arbetsplatsen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“No one should be without a job because the right kind of assistive devices are not available in the workplace.”

The plan wants a labour market with both more flexibility and more security where the rules are set close to those affected, and sees competition exposure of public operations as positive. Politically directing authorities away from hiring staffing companies goes against that line. The other part of the counter-proposal, internships for people with disabilities, lies closer to the plan's requirement that it should become easier to employ those far from the labour market.

The plan is built on a labor market where conditions are mainly determined through agreements and not in law and where private actors should contribute to matching; politically steering government agencies away from staffing companies goes against that line. The counter-proposal's second part, an evaluation of internship places for people with disabilities, on the other hand lies close to the plan's main task of opening up the labor market for this group. Overall, the labor law part weighs most heavily, but the conclusion is uncertain.

• conditions through agreement not lawdecisive»svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen, där villkoren i huvudsak bestäms genom avtal och inte i lag« (party programme ↗)“the Swedish labor market model, where conditions are mainly determined through agreements and not in law”
• private service providers in matching»Arbetsförmedlingens myndighetsuppdrag ska tydligt skiljas från utförarrollen.« (party programme ↗)“The Public Employment Service's government mandate should be clearly separated from the service provider role.”
• work for people with disabilities»En huvuduppgift är därför att öppna arbetsmarknaden för personer med funktionsnedsättning.« (party programme ↗)“A main task is therefore to open up the labor market for people with disabilities.”

The election manifesto wants to reduce the need for expensive hired personnel, and the party programme requires that state and municipality set an example when it comes to employing people with disabilities and that the legislative instrument be used to facilitate their situation. Directing authorities away from staffing companies and evaluating the internship initiative is in line with this. The plan's subsidiarity requirement on labour market policy constitutes a counterweight.

• reduce hired personneldecisive»minska behovet av dyr inhyrd personal« (2022 manifesto ↗)“reduce the need for expensive hired personnel”

The plan is based on a market economy and on the principle that what can be done equally well or better by someone other than the public sector should not be performed by the public sector; directing agencies away from hiring staffing companies contradicts that principle. The plan's own line for people who stand far from the labor market is more practice places, not new investigations into the management of agencies' staffing. Overall, the plan does not support the counter-proposal.

• private alternatives should be useddecisive»Om något kan göras lika bra eller bättre av« (party programme ↗)“If something can be done equally well or better by”
• market economy's priority»Grunden för Sveriges välstånd är en marknadsekonomi baserad« (party programme ↗)“The foundation of Sweden's prosperity is a market economy based”
• more practice places»Bygga ut antalet praktikplatser med 30 000« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Expand the number of practice places by 30,000”
• politics must prioritize»Politiken har en viktig uppgift att prioritera och välja bort,« (party programme ↗)“Politics has an important task to prioritize and reject,”

The plan requires that the opportunities for people with disabilities to participate in the labour market be strengthened and that people with reduced work capacity get to participate based on individual conditions, which carries the requirement to evaluate and build further on the internship places. The plan also points to expensive consultants and unnecessary expenses in the public sector as waste, which supports that the agencies are steered away from staffing companies.

• labour market for people with disabilitiesdecisive»Funktionsnedsattas och funktionsvarierades möjligheter till deltagande på arbetsmarknaden måste stärkas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The opportunities for people with disabilities and functional variations to participate in the labour market must be strengthened.”
• employment according to conditions»Sverigedemokraterna vill stärka möjligheten för personer med nedsatt arbetsförmåga att delta i arbetslivet och i sysselsättning utifrån individuella förutsättningar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats want to strengthen the opportunity for people with reduced work capacity to participate in working life and employment based on individual conditions.”
• stop public waste»dyra konsulter, utköp av personal och många andra märkliga satsningar« (2022 manifesto ↗)“expensive consultants, purchasing of personnel and many other remarkable investments”
