I'm starting to see M people explain how one term won't be enough to fix everything that S broke. So expect at least 3 more years of blaming S for everything currently wrong in society. On the third hand. It's absolutely right to blame S for the train problems because they've been in power for 8 years up until this. The maintenance issues faced now are not Ms fault. The problems in a few years will absolutely be theirs, though.

Exactly, I mean I was in highschool when Reinfeldt was elected and it was all downhill from there. To C's credit they dont seem to mess around with their whole 'no SD' clause, they've also indicated a shift away from their worst libertarian nonsense. That said, C's position prevents S from really going to town on private schooling and healthcare, and dealing with the abysmal housing policy.

The problem with S (in Denmark and everywhere) is that they looked to Tony Blair being a neoliberal and thought that was the way to go. At best they're a light version of a right wing party from an economic ideological perspective.

In Denmark, S are kinda worse because they can get away with more than the right wing.The neolibs are clapping their hands whenever the succ dems privatise yet another critical part of our infrastructure or cut down the public sector. Because they know it could never be done if S wasn’t doing it. If venstre/conservatives tried the same reforms on their own, there’d be a huge wall of opposition, it would never fly. Thorning and Corydon did more for the neoliberal right wing agenda in a few years, than they’ve been able to by themselves for decades before then. Nyup too, though most because he was a dumbo. Auken was the last reasonably ‘not awful’ one.

in scandinavia, the media ecosystem is usually split roughly in two, with the bourgeois papers on one side and the social-democratic papers on the other. the social-democratic papers naturally tend to be more willing to voice left-wing criticisms, but will also tend to have some degree of loyalty to the social-democratic party and so they often get away with* completely heinous right-wing steps because there's noone to call them out *well i say "get away with" but stoltenberg's first government ran head first into a solid wall of public discontent when he did a lot of neoliberal reforms so ymmv. also this process is causing the social-democratic parties to bleed out slowly but steadily

Neither am I so I probably shouldn't be trusted, but there are some rules around having to notify the employer of it and be clear about what your "demands" are and something. Also certain jobs are exempt from the right to strike. In any case, calling it illegal is something employers / blood-sucking capitalists / repressive governments tend to do to make the workers on strike look bad.

The better term for it is “wild/vild” which is how SVT, to their credit, terms it. It’s not a union sanctioned or organised strike, so I guess that would qualify it as such. The blame game is gonna be fun, especially since arbetsmarknadsminister Pehrson has already done an oopsie while discussing the lack of train drivers in southern Sweden this week: https://twitter.com/detljuvalivet/status/1646837616753475584?s=46&t=G1x8XWIwrNxUQoXItlkh2w

The changes in 2019 to the Medbestämmandelagen (lol) made a whole bunch of stridsåtgärder olovliga. The changes basically made any strike that isn't about a kollektivavtal olovlig. Olovlig is indeed not the same as illegal. But such instances can be taken to Arbetsdomstolen where the union or person(s) responsible for the olovlig strike may be found liable for damages. Didn't Socialdemokraterna push through this new law? After it has been prepared by näringslivet.

V. Illych L. posted:as i said i think it's just that the sixty-eighters stopped being the dominant cultural tendency among the talking classes. before them you had the old-school social democrats, and before them you had the class struggle. after the sixty-eighters, a bunch of people who had known only prosperity took over and saw no real point in anti-materialist posturing. this coincided with the fatal wound that the social democratic project received in the eighties If we did this we would swiftly be put under Cuba-like sanctions from EU and US. We dont have their resilience and would break within a year. We would have to accept severe concessions to remove the sanctions. Stuff like no wealth tax, no capital controls, forced privatization of most healthcare services etc. EU and US are like a bear of grizzly bears, we do not want to poke them in the eye with sticks. Its fine for us to the wealthy and sucessfull because we tend to do what we are told and rarely make a fuss. Confiscating property en-mass puts us on the " Extreme threat" list. I dont like it either but the rich do really have us all by the balls. Because of their international connections even the state is not powerful enough to touch them as a group. Beg for scraps or starve is the name of the game. And would`nt the new state owned companies act exactly like any other corporation anyway? Including all kinds of legal shenanigans to get around labor law restrictions and to avoid having to pay tax. Thats certainly how state owned corporations behave now.

I worked at MTR ages ago, at one point also worked on the last pendeltåg tender. While the head office probably still is full of its share of idiots there are a lot of clever people there that made the Metro operate waaay better that the expensive pants on head shitshow it used to be. For some reason they find themselves unable to deal with pendeltåget the same way. I think the problem is that the pendeltåg drivers are much rarer and harder to replace - on top of the actual rail system being even more of a mess than the metro with more insane stakeholders - which from MTR's perspective should change how they treat the drivers. But they havent and they've never gotten the personnel problems solved, even before this controversy. The thing with MTR and tågvärdarna is that they wont save a dime from this. Every tågvärd that they get rid of means less money from SL, and so the reason they helped SL make this happen is (im guessing) that they only se tågvärdar as a complication when operating the train system (more people to deal with, more situations where trains cant depart due to someone getting sick or late etc). But they could instead have seen tågvärdar as a paid for asset and a feature of making the train driver job more attractive and less stressful, maybe expand their role someway. With that perspective they should have fought hard against SL to keep them as a critical part of smooth operations. But that means having to look at train drivers as a skilled workforce that they need to work with to retain, which MTR might be institutionally uneqipped for right now at least. They seem to still think they can just keep pressing the "train and recruit more drivers"* button over and over but it seems to not work for some reason! *this worked in the metro, but metro drivers cost "only" about 300k SEK per head to train and the requirements are waaaay lower and they cant work anywhere else with their skill set. Oops. Train drivers probably cost 5 times as much? Threadkiller Dog fucked around with this message at 10:45 on Apr 16, 2023 |

It's really fantastic they found her. It probably helped how quickly they realized she was missing, I think the cops got involved barely two hours after the dad last spoke to her. I think it's unusual that a missing kid would be noticed that quickly. Press gonna press, what can you do.
