  • Spotify moves Swedish jobs abroad

    Spotify announces that it is moving services abroad, following a court order that denies the company to have night-time standby in Sweden.

    “The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s decision to deny us exemption for scheduled standby between midnight and 05.00 has meant that we have moved parts of 250 positions to other countries, and future recruitment of engineers will unfortunately mainly take place outside of Sweden,” writes Spotify’s HR manager Katarina Berg in a debate article in Dagens industri.

    Spotify was denied exemption from night work for 250 people, first in the administrative court and this week also in the court of appeals. Among other things, the company wanted an exemption to “maintain the operation of the company’s services and protect the large amount of personal data that the company has”.

    In addition to the court, the Work Environment Agency has also recently said no to night work.

    Spotify is critical of the decision, which they see as an example of “outdated bureaucracy”.

    “In a broader perspective, the current regulatory framework prevents companies in Sweden from growing and reaching their full potential on the global market, which directly slows down Sweden’s growth,” writes Katarina Berg.

  • Six North Korean officers killed in Ukrainian attack

Last year, Ukrainian intelligence agencies reported that a group of military personnel and engineers from North Korea were in occupied areas of Ukraine.

  • Plexiglas can be put up in the Riksdag after the tomato attack

    An emergency meeting will be held on Monday regarding security in the Riksdag, Sveriges Radio learns Echo. This is due to Thursday’s tomato attack against Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard (M).

    According to information to Ekot, one possible measure is to put up plexiglass between the audience and the members in the plenary hall.

  • That’s how the spy whale Hvaldimir died – really

    There has been a lot of speculation surrounding the death of the “spy whale” Hvaldimir. Now the Norwegian Veterinary Institute has presented its report after the final autopsy of the body.

    The report states that Hvaldimir died of a bacterial infection, possibly as a result of a wound in the mouth where a stick had stuck. The stick may also have led to him having difficulty ingesting nutrition, writes the veterinary institute in a press release.

    Hvaldimir was found dead in late August, and photos of the corpse showed several superficial wounds to the chest, abdomen and several fins.

    Two animal rights organizations therefore raised suspicions that the whales may have been shot dead, and reported the whole thing to the police. That theory is now dismissed by the Norwegian police, who are closing their investigation into the case.

    – There is nothing in the investigation to indicate that Hvaldimir was killed illegally, says Amund Preede Revheim of the Norwegian police.

  • S wants to give 1.7 billion more to culture

    In their shadow budget, the Social Democrats want to give 1.7 billion kroner more to culture and sports than the budget presented by the Tidösamarbetet, according to Sveriges Radio’s “Kulturnytt”.

    According to Lawen Redar, cultural policy spokesperson for the Social Democrats, a powerful cultural investment can be financed by not accepting the tax breaks for high income earners that the government wants to implement.

    – Fees for children’s and young people’s free time are being raised, study associations’ rehearsal rooms are being forced to close in large parts of the country and regional cultural institutions are finding it increasingly difficult to offer a broad and inclusive activity, says Redar to SR.

    Among other things, the Social Democrats want to reintroduce free entry to state museums and give more money to regional cultural initiatives and cultural schools. In addition, they want to invest SEK 350 million more than the government wants on student unions.
