In a decision published yesterday (20 November) the European Committee of Social Rights (ECSR) found that Sweden violated the revised European Social Charter in several respects. Supported by the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), its two Swedish affiliates Landsorganisationen i Sverige (LO) and Tjänstemännens Centralorganisation (TCO) filed a complaint against Sweden criticising the ‘Laval’ legislation, which had been introduced in order to conform to the so-called Laval judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (Court of Justice) (C-341/05 - Laval un Partneri).
