The argument of interest on interest was derogatory for the employer, as the employer, according to the writer, was not punished but simply did not have to pay wages to someone who was not at the workplace. The writer questioned why the employer should be forced to pay for something it neither chose nor could influence. The writer also stated that Danish companies were exempt from employer contributions and that Denmark had a labor market contribution of 8 percent, which was deducted directly from employees' salaries to finance labor market policy. According to the writer, this meant that other employees essentially financed individuals who were not working. The writer argued that those referring to Denmark should therefore first advocate for the abolition of employer contributions and then that employees should pay for others' absences from work. The writer described the article as very poor. #arbetsmarknad #företagande #politiskdebatt (translated)

Working irregular hours is equally taxing regardless of whether you do it in a nursing home or in a factory. The fact that welfare employees work longer hours is a historical injustice that must be rectified, says Malin Ragnegård, union chair, Kommunal. It is incomprehensible that irregular work grants the right to shorter working hours in the male-dominated industry, but not in the female-dominated welfare sector. Now it is time to abolish women's working hours, says Malin Ragnegård, union chair, Kommunal. #välfärd #arbetstidsförkortning #kvinnoarbetstider (translated)

The citizenship test in Swedish will be introduced next October. Now the Universities and Colleges Councils (UHR) announces that they cannot complete the task – and want to postpone the exam until 2029. An authority with over 350 employees and a budget of hundreds of millions cannot therefore construct a test over several years. It is not the test that needs to be postponed, but the UHR leadership that needs to be replaced. https://t.co/ko7RcFZId0 #Sverige #Medborgarskap #UHR (translated)

🔴Över 100 anställda inom äldreomsorgen i Växjö är dömda Över 100 anställda inom äldreomsorgen i Växjö kommun har en eller flera domar i belastningsregistret, enligt en granskning av Smålandsposten. Totalt handlar det om 164 domar. Bland brotten finns sexualbrott, däribland våldtäkt mot barn. En av de anställda är alltså dömd för våldtäkt mot barn och arbetar samtidigt inom äldreomsorgen. Detta trots att Växjö kommun uppger att registerutdrag ska begäras vid nyanställningar inom omsorgsförvaltningen. Sedan den 1 mars 2026 har kommuner dessutom rätt att begära utdrag ur både belastningsregistret och misstankeregistret vid anställningar inom äldreomsorg och hemtjänst. Frågan är hur personer med tidigare domar har kunnat hamna i verksamheten och vilka kontroller som faktiskt har genomförts. Källa: Smålandsposten #äldreomsorg #Växjö #brottslingar
