Funny that...

We have neither a minimum wage nor wage indexing. Instead we have collective bargaining by fair and responsible employers and fair and responsible labour unions.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Fair and responsible and strong labour unions.

If you only spend 20 minutes of the rest of your life on economics, go spend them here.

Certainly. People often joke and say that the (all powerful * ominous music *) soc dem party is actually just the political wing of the biggest labour union... ;)

And well, union membership is something like 75-85 %. I mean, I'm about as hard right as you can be in Sweden, and even I'm a labour union member!

(not a member of the big soc dem labour union though)
