The two reference cases considered here concern the compatibility with EU law of industrial disputes and collective actions against EU companies exercising their free movement rights. The Swedish case, under a reference of the Arbetsdomstolen (Swedish Labour Court) of 15 September 2005 in litigation between Laval un Partneri Ltd (hereafter ‘Laval’) v. Svenska Byggnadsarbetareförbundet, Avdelning 1 of the Svenska Byggnadsarbetareförbundet, Svenska Elektrikerförbundet (in the material that follows, ‘Bygnadds’) and others concerns the question of whether an industrial action of Swedish labour unions against a Latvian company that wanted to perform a work contract under Swedish procurement rules through the use of posted Latvian workers falls under the ‘freedom to provide service’ rules of Article 49 EC and, if this is the case, whether this action can be justified either under the posted workers directive, 96/71/EEC, or under a specific Swedish law exempting labour unions from liability in taking action against foreign-based companies (the so-called Lex Britannia; see sections E.I and H.II below).

Full textAbstract:
I denna artikel analyseras de socio-ekonomiska konsekvenserna av den hastigt avreglerade taxibranschen. Det har blivit vanligare för utrikes födda att arbeta i taxibranschen, men de har inte blivit integrerade på samma villkor som de infödda kollegerna. Trots att de utrikes födda är högre utbildade, har de lägre inkomst från taxibranschen än de infödda. Resultaten visar hur en bransch med försämrade arbetsvillkor kan erbjuda relativt attraktiva arbetsmöjligheter för utrikes födda, samtidigt som det resulterar i en oavsiktlig bieffekt, nämligen att utrikes födda påverkas hårdast av de rekommodifierande processerna i relationerna mellan arbetsmarknad och socialpolitik.

Recommodification of the Taxi Sector: Changing of Economic Relations and Ethnic Composition
This article addresses the socio-economic consequences of the rapid deregulation of the Swedish taxi sector. Foreign-born residents have become more involved in the taxi business, but they have not been integrated in the sector under the same conditions as their Swedish-born fellow workers. Although higher educated, they have lower incomes from the taxi sector than their Swedish-born colleagues. Our findings show how a sector with increasingly poorer working conditions appears to be an attractive employment opportunity for foreign-born citizens. However, at the same time, there is an unintended side-effect, in that the foreign born workers are severely affected by the recommodification processes in the relations between labour market and social policy.
Key words: Taxi sector, ethnic segmentation, re-commodifi-cation, deregulation, ethnic divison of labor, informal economy.

Full textAbstract:
The labour and sacrifices of the members of the Swedish Evangelical Mission and their predecessors in the production of scriptural works in Eritrea, and partly in Ethiopia, are praiseworthy. More acclaim is owed to these workers for their educating and/or involving native workers in the arduous task that often spanned two or three generations. When it comes to taking credit for these works, however, the native workers were rarely mentioned or, if they are mentioned, their contributions were not given the deserved recognition. This article attempts to highlight the remarkable contributions of native workers in the translation, or completion of the translation, of the Bible into four languages in Eritrea in contradistinction with the often exaggerated contributions of foreign missionaries in that successful mission.

Full textAbstract:
Abuse and violence against women is not only a serious violation of human rights, but is also, according to the Swedish government, the most acute and greatest obstacle to a gender-equal society. The aim of the current study was to investigate discourses that govern social work practice in Sweden analysed discourses of violence against women in five Swedish public working guidelines using Carol Bacchi’s social constructivist analytical approach What's the Problem Represented to Be? Our findings show that violence is framed in the guidelines within a heterosexual context and is represented as an individual problem of women within close relations and families. This framing also promotes a division between violence against Swedish-born women and violence against foreign-born women. The analysis also shows that equality seems to be more about the inclusion of men rather than looking after women's situations. How violence against women is understood will affect how violence can be predicted, prevented, and treated, and thus there is a risk that these representations might affect women subjected to violence differently depending on how social workers interpret and apply these guidelines. Our findings also suggest that these representations maintain gender hierarchies and other structural and societal inequalities and ignore violence against women as a major global social problem.

Carolus Linnaeus (Carl von Linné) (1707-1778) lived during and helped establish the Swedish golden years of science in the early and mid Eighteenth Century (other notables of the time included Emanuel Swedenborg, Anders Celsius, Pehr Kalm, Axel Cronstedt, Daniel Tilas, Johan Wallerius, and Torbern Bergman). Although known best for his contributions to botany, he was a natural scientist of the first class and made contributions to many fields, including geology. His contributions to geology, however, are not well known. Obtaining his medical degree in Harderwijk (Holland) in 1735, he had opportunity to visit the savants of the day on the continent and in England making contacts that lasted a lifetime. But Linnaeus was a believer in having scientists see their own country first and admonished his fellow workers to learn about Sweden "… [and not to] cross the stream for water, and waste … money endeavoring to learn in a foreign country what … might have [been] acquired at home"—good advice even today. He practiced what he preached and during his lifetime made five notable resor (=journeys) in Sweden: Lappland (1732), Dalarna (1734), Öland and Gotland (1741), Västergötland (1746), and Skåne (1749). These field excursions were recorded, not in the scientific language of the day, Latin, but in Swedish and thus were not widely read outside the country. As was his custom, he recorded everything noted on the journeys. Later, through his earlier contacts via the post and his apostles (students), he kept abreast of happenings all over the globe.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses related to both the justification of the Russian model of personnel motivation, taking into account international experience. The urgency of solving this problem in modern Russian conditions has been substantiated. The main goal of the formation of a motivation model for Russian organizations is formulated - ensuring the achievement of the organization's goals by attracting and retaining professionally trained personnel and, above all, through effective, strong and sustainable motivation, formed on the basis of complex incentives, which is the subject of interest for all groups of the organization's personnel. The reasons are disclosed that prevent a change in the traditional approach to personnel motivation in Russian organizations, the main among which are: the adherence of Russian companies to traditional methods of incentives and other organization management technologies, as well as the economic situation in the country and the resulting needs of workers in Russia. The characteristics of the main foreign models of motivation, including Japanese, American, French, English, German and Swedish models, are given. The comparison of these models with the Russian ones is carried out and the prospects for their adaptation and use in the Russian practice of personnel motivation and incentives are substantiated.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the declining union density and shrinking coverage of collective agreements in most EU/EES countries, in particular in Eastern Europe and Greece. In many countries, international organizations pushed through “structural reforms” weakening trade unions. The result is declining union density and decreased capacity to conclude sectoral collective agreements and avoid downwards derogations at company level. Even in some core eurozone countries have governments without much of social dialogue carried through “internal devaluation” to restore competitiveness. High union density (Finland) or high union mobilization capacity (France) could not prevent this development. The economic performance of a country and degree of globalization, including the absence of a national currency, appear to be more important. The Swedish (and Nordic) model of self-regulation, resting on negotiations between the labour market parties, contrasts sharply to French state regulation with its high frequency of state extension of collective agreements and minimum wages set by the state. Union density in Sweden is still among the highest in the world but has declined considerably the last twenty years, in particular among the rapidly growing share of foreign-born blue-collar workers. As a small, strongly export-dependent country dominated by large transnational groups, Swedish economy is very influenced by globalization. This has shifted the balance of power to the advantage of employers, and by that circumscribed the unions’ efforts to achieve developing jobs and improved working environment.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. Unemployment, as one of the world's economic problems today, significantly affects the material, social and professional level of the working population. Payment of unemployment benefits is one of the measures of social support of citizens by the state. Such social benefits are twofold, as on the one hand they replace lost earnings, and on the other one they will be perceived by the state regulation of labor resources. The purpose of the paper is to study and borrow positive experience of social insurance in case of unemployment in different countries of the world in accordance with their affiliation to labor market models and employment promotion. Results. The American Unemployment Insurance System is formed solely by employers' contributions (except in 3 states where employees also pay contributions) and provides benefits for 26 weeks. Each state has its own social security program, according to which contributions are formed and unemployment benefits are paid. If we talk about the European model of employment, its characteristic feature is that it is focused on reducing employment by increasing productivity and increasing the income level of working citizens. The Swedish model of social insurance in the event of unemployment is characterized by an active employment policy, in particular, preference is given to vocational training and professional development. In addition, the emphasis is on providing employment by creating jobs in the public sector with average and satisfactory working and pay conditions. The Japanese model of employment incentives has a number of characteristic features: the country has a widespread system of lifelong employment; the amount of remuneration for work is set depending on the length of service of the employee, his age and marital status; trade unions (unions) are not created on a sectoral basis, but directly at the level of economic entities. Conclusion. Building a multi-level social insurance system enables insured persons to receive high-level social benefits, insurers to create favorable working conditions and select highly qualified workers, and insurers to regulate the labor market and reduce unemployment.

Introduction. In the late 1920s Stalingrad was undergoing major industrial construction and reconstruction. Due to the shortage of local labor resources, foreign labor resources were required. The study highlights the nationality and number of the labor force, arrival dates and participation in the city’s public life. Methods and materials. The study used sources from the State Archive of Volgograd Oblast. The Research is based on comparative-historical and descriptive-historical methods. Analysis. Housing was the main issue in Stalingrad. Foreign specialists (Americans, Germans, Austrians, Czechs, Swedes) and their families were provided with housing, but living conditions were harsh. Moreover, despite the fact that salary of foreign labors was higher than salary of locals, foreign specialists still considered it insufficient. Providing foreign specialists with better living conditions, special product delivery and essential goods irritated the locals, whose standard of living was low. Results. Construction of buildings for foreign specialists began in the late 1920s. For local workers of such plants as the Stalingradskiy traktornyy zavod (Stalingrad Tractor Plant), the Barrikady (Titan-Barrikady) and the Krasny Oktyabr construction began in 1933. This helped to improve the city’s housing situation and increase the standard of living and the number of citizens. In 1933 Stalingrad became a major industrial center; by the end of the 1930s, it had become a city with a large population, including foreigners who stayed in Stalingrad, provided training for local specialists, adapted to an unfamiliar social life, and mastered the Russian language.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn Iceland, Danish is taught as a foreign language parallel to English. One purpose for this is to promote inter-Nordic communication, since Danish is generally held to be intercomprehensible for both Norwegian and Swedish speakers. Assuming the role of tourists, field workers who were native speakers of Danish, Norwegian or Swedish approached Icelandic adolescents (aged 15–20), asking in their native language for directions to the Nordic House in Reykjavík. The investigation was conducted at three different time periods (1983, 1999/2004 and 2006) and showed that the proportion of young people understanding the question thus posed to them decreased from two thirds (1983) to a little less than 40% (2006). At the same time, the number switching to English while answering the question increased. In 2006, a large majority (80%) was inclined to do so, while only one third did so in 1983, roughly 25 years earlier.

To what extent does individuals’ personal opinions influence their professional behaviour? There has been an extensive field experiment on the existence of ethnic discrimination in the Swedish labour market. There are statistics data showing that people with Swedish or occidental-sounding names have an advantage over other ethnicities when it comes to being called in for job interviews. Similarly, the wage gaps between Swedes and other ethnicities are on the rise. Rising occurrences of ethnic discrimination in recruitment is an increasing concern in the Swedish labour market. This has significant implications for ethnic minorities and the prospect of a prosperous life.This paper was based on the study of the recruiters’ approach, perception of the phenomenon of ethnic discrimination. The purpose of the study was to shed light on the presence of ethnic discrimination in the recruitment process. Using a qualitative approach and qualitative interview as a method for data sampling, this study analysed recruiters’ attitudes and understanding of ethnic discrimination in the Swedish labour market. This study answers questions regarding societal norms and perceptions, which were found to play the greatest role in facilitating the spread of ethnic discrimination and stereotyping and categorising of ethnic minorities. These behaviours were found to be indirect discriminations based on implicit bias towards other groups.2020-06-08
