A new mode of wage calculation endorsed by all. After the negotiations started on march 24, 2009, the LO union and the Almega employers’ federation – powerful member of the Svenst Naringsliv employers’ confederation – signed an agreement introducing new wage provisions into the collective agreement on temporary work, in force until then. Per Bardh, secretary in charge of collective agreements at LO, officially announced on August 13 that signing the agreement would only be a matter of form for the 14 sectoral unions. The objective of the new agreement was to allow temporary workers enjoy the same working conditions as other employees and therefore limit disparities, the source of social dumping. The main issues negotiated notably concerned the calculation of temporary workers’ pay: they should be entitled to guaranteed minimum wage amounting to 90% of the average of salaries they received for the past three months. They should receive equivalent wages to the average of all hourly wages of the team members with whom they worked in the client firm. If there was no equivalent position, or if they were alone, the wages would be based on the provisions of the trade agreement binding the temporary work agency and the client firm, with the consent of the union of the client firm.
