to create a more equal and non-discriminatory workplaces, with the existing law? In the day, the equality Ombudsman, DO, vitesförelägga of the employer. DO believe that it has not been worked out, but would, instead, impose the penalties so that employers will be required to pay a fee, it turns out that they do not comply with the law. Also, Åsa Lindhagen (MP), minister for gender equality and the minister of state with special responsibility for combating discrimination, it has in the past talked about ”sanctions” and ”more powerful tool”.

which are needed in the workplace, ask, Thomas, Bull. How is that supposed to happen in that case? And how can employers and unions work together on the anti-discrimination act.
“ maybe You could enforce this through the rules that they have to consult? he says as he reveals a suggestion that has come up in initial conversations.
“ There is a view of a likabehandlingsombud, is a kind of skyddsombudsliknande role to play. This is, of course, is a arbetsmiljöfråga. Just like that, the ventilation system shall be of the good and the dangerous machinery to be protected, then you should not be harassed or have been treated badly on the basis of the discrimination.
the study will be completed by the 1st of October, and a lot of work remains to be done, but a supreme court justice, Thomas Bull, do not be afraid of the law.
