"Are there unemployed people in Sweden who can get the jobs, the jobs should go to them", says chairman Johan Lindholm in his speech in Sundbyberg on May 1st.

Lindholm criticizes how employers today can almost freely pick up "as much cheap labor as possible".

"They don't care about how it presses the conditions for all workers. Nor about people being exploited, sleeping on cellar floors in our country and sometimes being forced into crime", says Johan Lindholm.

According to Lindholm, today's system with requirements for good support is reasonable, but does not solve the fundamental problem.
