Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper focuses on the specific problems in the labour and social security legislation as it relates to crowdworkers in the digitalizes new economy, analyzing their place in labour market, and especially in the collective agreements which are the standard means of regulating working conditions in the Nordic model. Sweden has a binary system where a performing party is as either an employee or self-employed.The law on working and employment conditions offers only limited protection those on short, fixed-term contracts; instead, it is social partners that have improved crowdworkers’ conditions in some industries by using collective bargaining. However, there are no collective agreements in the digital economy, or indeed for platform entrepreneurs. The complications of the parties’ positions will be analyzed, especially as platforms do not consider themselves to be employers, but rather coordinators of the self-employed.

- The precarious employment types growing most rapidly in Sweden are on-call with zero hour contracts, umbrella organizations and crowdwork in the gig economy. In the Swedish binary system, those in precarious work often fall between the regulations for employees and those for the self-employed. Both the legislator and the social partners in Sweden work with these problems in the field of employee protection and social security to improve the conditions for precarious workers. The aim of the chapter is to analyse the consequences of the legal system for precarious workers. The focus is on working protection for self-employed and short fixed term employees in the labour legislation and collective agreements and the impact of the Swedish attempt to improve conditions for precarious workers within the Swedish model, where the collective agreement is the most important regulatory instrument of wages and working conditions.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter contains an outline of the Swedish social security system with a focus on sickness benefits in the social security and unemployment insurance. The Swedish legislator’s ambition has been to create parity between different forms of employment as well as between those who are self-employed and those who operate in different company structures. Legislative amendments in this area have mainly provided those self-employed with the same rights of pay level as well as basic access to relevant insurance policies, but there are still legislative problems. Swedish labour- and social security legislation still focus on permanently employed in large firms with regular working hours and incomes for whom the system is built. A particular challenge has now arisen in the new digitalised economy and its performing parties, crowdworkers.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Industrial relations in Sweden are part of the Nordic legal tradition. This is characterised by labour law which is largely semi-discretionary law and collective agreements are the most important instrument for regulation of the labour market; these agreements offer a high degree of coverage. Trade unions are well organised and play a central role in the labour law system. During the past 25 years Swedish law has been adapted on a running basis to meet EU legislative requirements. The collective bargaining in Sweden is partly centralized and partly decentralized. In a few decades, wage formation has shifted from strict, fixed going-rate agreements, and sometimes as far as figureless agreements without minimum salaries and that are valid until further notice
