Abstract (Swedish)
Den svenska modellen inom arbetsrätten handlar till stor del om två saker: skyddet av alla arbetstagare och parternas autonomi. I Sverige regleras en stor del av arbetsrätten av kollektivavtal, vilka förhandlas av parterna på arbetsmarknaden. I många andra länder används allmängiltigförklaring av kollektivavtal som ett sätt att sträcka ut kollektivavtalets bindande verkan för att nå fler arbetstagare och arbetsgivare.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur skyddet av alla arbetstagare samt arbetsmarknadens partsautonomi tillgodoses genom de arbetsrättsliga regleringarna i Sverige och Norge. Uppsatsen syftar även till att göra en komparativ studie av den arbetsrättsliga regleringen i Sverige och Norge.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur skyddet av alla arbetstagare samt arbetsmarknadens partsautonomi tillgodoses genom de arbetsrättsliga regleringarna i Sverige och Norge. Uppsatsen syftar även till att göra en komparativ studie av den arbetsrättsliga regleringen i Sverige och Norge.

Det kan konstateras att skillnaderna mellan regleringarna i Sverige och Norge är små, både vad gäller skydd av arbetstagare och parternas autonomi. Det faktum att det i Norge inom vissa branscher används allmängiltigförklarade kollektivavtal får dock konsekvenser som gör att skyddet av alla arbetstagare och partsautonomin skiljer sig åt mellan länderna.

En av de största skillnaderna mellan länderna är att den fackliga organisationsgraden i Sverige är högre än den i Norge. Trots detta är fler arbetstagare bundna av kollektivavtal i Norge tack vare allmängiltiga kollektivavtal. Detta bidrar till ett starkare skydd för alla arbetstagare i Norge på kort sikt, men kan få andra konsekvenser på längre sikt. Med allmängiltigförklaring av kollektivavtal finns en risk att arbetstagarnas incitament att bli medlemmar i en fackförening minskas, vilket på längre sikt kan leda till svagare fackföreningar. Detta riskerar i längden att påverka både parternas autonomi och skyddet av alla arbetstagare negativt. (Less)
Abstract
The Swedish model within labour law is mainly about two things: the protection of all workers and the collective autonomy. In Sweden, a big part of the labour law is regulated by collective agreements negotiated by the different parties on the labour market. In many other countries, a universal declaration of collective agreements is used, to extend the binding effect of the collective agreement to reach more employees and employers.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the protection of all employees and the collective autonomy of the parties on the labour market is met through the labor law regulations in Sweden and Norway.

In Sweden, a big part of the labour law is regulated by collective agreements negotiated by the different parties on the labour market.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the protection of all employees and the collective autonomy of the parties on the labour market is met through the labor law regulations in Sweden and Norway. Furthermore, this study aims to make a comparative study of the labor law regulations in Sweden and Norway.

It can be stated that the differences between the regulations in Sweden and Norway are small, in terms of employee protection as well as the collective autonomy. However, collective agreements are declared to be applicable to all employees in certain sectors in Norway. This may be a source of difference in the protection of all employees and collective autonomy between Sweden and Norway.

One major difference between the countries, is the higher number of trade union members in Sweden as compared to Norway. Despite this, more employees are bound by collective agreements in Norway due to universal collective agreements. This contributes to stronger protection for all employees in Norway in the short term but can have other consequences in the longer term. With a universal declaration of collective agreements, there is a risk that the employees' incentives to become members of a trade union will be reduced, which in the longer term may lead to weaker trade unions. Hence, there is a risk in that the collective autonomy as well as the protection of all workers are affected negatively in the long run. (Less)
