Department of Business Law
Abstract (Swedish)
I uppsatsen jämförs offentlig- och privatanställdas rätt att kritisera sin arbetsgivare i pressen. Avstamp tas i kritikrätten. Rättsliga förhållanden kring en arbetstagares rätt att kritisera belyses såsom lojalitetsplikt och skydd mot repressalier. För offentliganställda genomsyrar den grundlagsstadgade yttrandefriheten deras anställningsförhållande. Yttrandefriheten ger offentliganställda en långtgående kritikrätt och lojalitetsplikten ger vika för grundlag. För privatanställda är lojalitetsplikten vägledande för hur långt kritikrätten sträcker sig. Praxis har format privatanställdas kritikrätt gentemot sin arbetsgivare. Kritikrätten inom privat sektor grundar sig i hänvisningar till den medborgerliga yttrandefriheten. 2017 infördes den... (More)

För privatanställda är lojalitetsplikten vägledande för hur långt kritikrätten sträcker sig. Praxis har format privatanställdas kritikrätt gentemot sin arbetsgivare. Kritikrätten inom privat sektor grundar sig i hänvisningar till den medborgerliga yttrandefriheten. 2017 infördes den så kallade visselblåsarlagen. Lagen ger ett likställt repressalieskydd för offentlig- och privatanställda när allvarliga missförhållanden offentliggörs. Då kritik inte faller inom visselblåsarlagens skydd är repressalieskyddet mellan offentlig- och privatanställda olika. En stor skillnad bottnar i att offentliganställda har ett grundlagsstadgat repressalieskydd när de har utnyttjat sin yttrandefrihet, vilket inte privatanställda har i förhållande till sin arbetsgivare.

Abstract
This essay compares the right of public and private employees to criticize their employer in print media. The discussion focuses on employees’ legal rights to criticize, including issues of loyalty and protection from retaliation. The constitutional right to free speech is generally the guiding light for public employees. This provides the public employee with a far reaching right to criticize, and loyalty to employer gives way to the constitution. For private employees however, the demand for loyalty guides how far the right to criticize can go. The right of private employees to criticize their employer has been formed from praxis and is based in references to the civil liberty of free speech. In 2017 a new law called The Whistleblower...

This essay compares the right of public and private employees to criticize their employer in print media. The discussion focuses on employees’ legal rights to criticize, including issues of loyalty and protection from retaliation. The constitutional right to free speech is generally the guiding light for public employees. This provides the public employee with a far reaching right to criticize, and loyalty to employer gives way to the constitution. For private employees however, the demand for loyalty guides how far the right to criticize can go. The right of private employees to criticize their employer has been formed from praxis and is based in references to the civil liberty of free speech. In 2017 a new law called The Whistleblower Act was introduced. The law provides equal protection from retaliation for public and private employees when serious irregularities are exposed. When criticism is not covered by The Whistleblower Act the protection differs. The major difference being that public employees are protected by the constitution, private employees are not in their relationship to their employer. (Less)
