Last fall, new rules for unemployment insurance came into effect. Among other things, benefits will be reduced to 70 percent after 100 days of unemployment. The Social Democrats say this is wrong and want to repeal the new rules. On Thursday, the party will submit a committee motion.
No one should have to worry about being thrown into poverty because they lose their job.
Ardalan Shekarabi believes that unemployment insurance is an important safety net that ensures those who lose their jobs do not lose their financial security.
It is unemployment that needs to be combated, not the unemployed. Therefore, the deterioration in the unemployment insurance system needs to be reversed.
