Det var någon under helgens konferens som över en kaffe sa: Vänta bara tills de vinner igen och SD sitter med i regering, då ryker arbetsdomstolen.
Helt otroligt! Arbetsdomstolen stänger ner i tre månader på grund av besparingskrav från! Det här är en av våra främsta kanaler för att utkräva ansvar av arbetslivskriminella bolag. Nu får de frikort i tre månader av regeringen.

Arbetsdomstolen ställer in nästan alla mål i tre månader. Pengarna är slut sedan regeringen prutat anslagen. ”Problemen fortsätter nästa år då vi får mindre anslag”, säger ordföranden Lars Dirke.
