Shortened working hours will be a proposal put forward when the Social Democrats will shape their new policy. That’s what Annika Strandhäll, chairman of S-kvinnor, says in Ekot’s Saturday interview.
– All other Nordic countries have implemented shorter working hours. The fact is that in Sweden we have the longest working life in all of Europe, she says.
Strandhäll, who leads the party’s working group for a sustainable working life, however, does not want to go into more precisely how the proposal will be designed.
The Social Democrats have appointed eleven working groups which, by the summer, will present proposals for new policies in various areas, which the party’s congress will later vote on.
Recently, LO’s outgoing chairman Susanna Gideonsson also said in an interview with DN that she wants LO to pursue the issue of shortened working hours with “full force”.
