Authorities would henceforth not be able to act passively in the handling

Sverige har en lång tradition av en flexibel arbetsmarknad där arbetstagare fritt kunnat förflytta sig mellan offentlig och privat sektor. Övergångar av detta slag är i många delar positivt och genererar ett erfarenhetsutbyte som är till gagn för båda sektorer.
