Mechanisms for establishing and changing terms and conditions of employment in Sweden

Abstract

The subject of this paper is the mechanisms for establishing and changing terms and conditions of employment in Sweden. It relates both to fundamental aspects of the Swedish labour law and industrial relations model, and to the current ‘transformation’ of working life, including trends towards an increasing individualisation and decentralisation and a new emphasis on fundamental social rights and non-discrimination. The outline of the paper is as follows. Section 2 presents the ‘Swedish Model’ of industrial relations. Section 3 deals with the basic mechanisms for establishing and changing terms and conditions of employment in Sweden. Section 4 gives an account of recent reforms of Swedish labour law, and discusses the resultant challenges to the ‘Swedish Model’ of industrial relations. Lastly, in section 5, I make some final remarks.
