Voting record

Every vote must state a public reason. Most recent first.

Vänsterpartiet
Voted July 29, 2023
No

“No, we are doing just fine without forcing workers to overwork themselves”

Götademokraterna
Voted July 27, 2023
Yes

“We support this! It allows for better company growth and flexibility”

Vänster
Voted June 15, 2023
No

“We do not support replacing the four-day workweek with a 35-hour model. The four-day week guarantees workers a genuine three-day break, reduces commuting, and provides a clearer separation between work and personal life. A 35-hour week spread across five days would weaken these benefits without necessarily giving workers greater freedom.”

RISET
Voted June 14, 2023
Yes

“Although it would be more reasonable not to have a maximum limit, we support this as well”
