This article focuses on the importance of the social partners in new labour law regulation where there is a weak parliamentary majority. The prevailing view in Sweden is that labour law regulation must be modernised as both companies and employees need improved opportunities in order to be able to adapt to changing conditions in the labour market. A Government inquiry and negotiations between the social partners in the private sector focused on these issues. The social partners reached two agreements: a Principle Agreement, including demands that the state provide new labour law regulation; and a Basic Agreement, which is a collective agreement about security, transition and employment protection. The Swedish Government decided to modernise the Swedish Employment Protection Act (LAS) 1 in line with the social partners’ suggestions. The government proposal covers three important labour law areas: (1) changes to the Swedish Employment Protection Act; (2) new state-financed public support for skills development; and (3) a new public transition organisation to provide basic transition support for employees not covered by a collective agreement. This article shows that the social partners have great power over new legislation and can create stability in labour law regulation in Sweden for the future. The government’s proposal implies that new regulation has moved from the provision of employment protection depending on length of service to better transition conditions for employees, and that the state is to take financial responsibility for the lifelong learning of professionals.

Theoretically, there are many good arguments that unions should support a proposal on basic income. The main reason for the Danish trade unions resistance to basic income reform is that it would go against the short-term interest of the unions in organisational self-maintenance. Trade unions will lose power in relation to their members with a basic income. Trade unions have control over individual members by virtue of the collective agreement system and the labour law system. If you have a basic income system, the individual worker will decide when he or she wants to leave his workplace and strike. Suppose a single worker or a group of workers leave their workplace because of dissatisfaction with the working condition. In that case, they will be punished financially according to the rules of labour law rely on any support from their trade union.

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disease characterized by mild localized plaques to severe plaques involving any part of the skin; it has a pronounced effect on patients’ quality of life. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), there are limited local guidelines for the management of patients with psoriasis in daily clinical practice. Objectives: The study aimed to develop consensus statements for the evaluation and management of moderate-to-severe psoriasis in the UAE. Methods: To develop consensus statements, the Emirates Dermatology Society set up advisory board meetings in which local key opinion leaders (KOLs), including dermatologists from the UAE, participated. A targeted literature review was conducted to review current international and regional guidelines on the management of psoriasis, based on which the statements were formulated. A final consensus on each statement was reached based on collective agreement among the KOLs. Results : Consensus statements were generated with the intention of supporting physicians in clinical decision-making with respect to the classification of disease severity, treatment options including biologic and non-biologic systemic therapies, transitioning and adjusting of systemic therapies, and monitoring and management of psoriasis in special populations. Conclusion: These consensus statements could provide useful, practical guidance on the diagnosis and management of patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis and would cater to the needs of physicians in the UAE.

Title: A Collaborative Approach to Handling Coastal Spatial Conflicts in Yogyakarta Southern Coast   Yogyakarta's southern coastal ecosystem is facing increasing impacts from fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, energy production, shipping, pollution, climate change and other stressors. This paper discusses the importance of collaborative planning, more than community-based in coastal tourism areas as well as mangrove forest conservation areas, as well as environmental stressors in the form of shrimp ponds. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the understanding of the type of planning approach that is most appropriate, namely collaborative in areas that have spatial conflicts. The method used in this paper is a literature study which describes the theory, findings, and other research materials obtained from reference material to be used as a research basis by compiling a clear framework from the formulation of the problem to be studied. coupled with field observations. The author then provides a review, summary, and dialogue about the theory which is then used to build a relevant theoretical framework. Literature references used are related to collaborative planning and coastal tourism. Based on the discussion that has been done, it can be concluded that to overcome spatial conflicts in the southern coastal tourism area of ??Yogyakarta, this type of planning with a collaborative approach is the most appropriate to be applied wherein the process involves stakeholders with the ultimate goal of a collective agreement for all parties and with a sustainable perspective.

<p>Many observers have identified Europeanization as undermining the foundation of national systems of capitalisms. This paper addresses a national level response. The approach taken assesses the positions (for change) by actors within the Swedish Model toward the 'Laval' European Court of Justice ruling (C-341/05). Through the analysis of position documents and semi-structured interviews with representatives from the social partners, this paper identifies key pressures within the Swedish labour market model in response to the Court ruling. The extension model (autonomous collective agreement model) proved to be the preferred option for the Swedish partners. Concurrently, this model results in the least amount of change to Swedish industrial relations. While a substantial degree of support was identified for 'change', specifically the legislated minimum wage option, institutional structures were identified that restricted such positions from reaching official channels of influence. This case provides evidence of institutional continuity and is an example of national industrial relations proving robust against the forces of European integration.</p>

Abstract The architect’s profession is very close to things related to design. The face of the metropolis, which is now entering the modern era, contrasts with the faces of lower strata towns that are unable to catch up. Because of this, local governments in Indonesia have launched several initiatives to improve settlements by including architects in the planning process. According to a case study completed in Semarang, one of the government’s efforts to improve settlements is the Kampung Tematik program. This program provides new collaboration between architect organizations, governments, and communities. In performance, the architect serves many clients, and there are several design negotiations. However, due to the large number of people engaged and the time constraint, the design eventually gained concept dispersion. What was envisioned or planned is not synonymous with what was constructed or implemented. This study aims to examine how architects engage with several clients during the Kampung Tematik program’s phases and have to deal with the design and build phase. Architects who work with the community need special skills to communicate with many clients. The concept of the collective agreement may be realized not just as an architect’s work but also as a collaborative all actors thought.

In recent years, industrial conflicts have reached alarming proportions, especially in Ghana’s public sector. In some instances, workers resort to strike actions and marches when employers use lockout and other methods not approved by the Labour Act or set out in a collective agreement. In Ghana, several heads of institutions and the management of most public institutions make unilateral decisions without consulting collective bargaining agreements. Many structures have been thrown into disarray; thus, resulting in industrial tensions at one point or another. This study aims to assess how effective collective bargaining agreements are at resolving labour disputes. A descriptive survey design was used, and the study participants included members of the Public Service Workers’ Union (PSWU) with a sample size of 240 unionised staff members. Poor coordination, lack of shared respect and consultation, and an unfavourable attitude toward union leaders and members were discovered to be the key causes of industrial conflict in the public sector. Furthermore, problems relating to salaries and wages, redundancies and layoffs, gratuities and pensions, and bad working conditions were the other causes of industrial unrest in Ghana’s public sector.   It was suggested that employers establish a constructive collective bargaining procedural and substantive rule to react swiftly to economic changes that impact workers’ terms and conditions of service.

Empirical evidence for Spanish Stock Market shows that labour events, like a firm level collective agreement, have informative content for the market due to the loss of wealth that it implies for the investor. Labour Reforms which Spain experienced between the years 2010 and 2012 have allowed the jeopardising of employment and the destruction of jobs, substituting one well paid by another of lower cost for the firm, the cost of dismissal, or the proposals of substituting payoffs by the so-called Austrian backpack, and the elimination of the distinction between temporary and permanent contracts. These Labour Reforms affect many of the accounting and financial variables, which are the subject of analysis and follow-up by investors and analysts, next to the idiosyncrasy of the Open Shop System that is followed in Spain, the present article means to explore the effect on Madrid Stock Market. Our results, applying analysis techniques with decision trees where we control the effect of the economic crisis on the market reaction, show that the Labour Reforms of 2010 to 2012 are incorporated as negative, or positive, information when the investor perceives a possible decrease, or increase, in its future cash flows.
