LABOR RELATIONS IN THE SWEDISH CONFLICT OF LAWS

LABOR RELATIONS IN THE SWEDISH CONFLICT OF LAWS LABOR RELATIONS I N T H E SWEDISH CONFLICT OF LAWS By Michael Bogdan, Assistant Professor of International Law, Lund, Sweden I. Introduction The jurisdiction of Swedish courts over labor disputes and the principles of conflict of laws applicable to such disputes are not regulated in a general manner by legis- lation. Further, the case law is very limited and the legal literature on the subject is rather scanty: much research remains to be done. On the other hand, relevant statements about this topic can be found in the legislative material, mainly in the Government Bills presenting the labor legislation of the 1970's to the Riksdag (par- liament). Such legislative material in the Swedish legal system is considered to be of great importance, although formally it is not a source of legally binding rules. F r o m the point of view of the Swedish conflict of laws, the legal relationships governed by labor law can be divided into three categories, although the exact delineation between them may sometimes be difficult to make. There is, first of all, the individual employment relationship between an employer and an employee.
