Saco calls for the revision of the EU public procurement and concessions Directives to ensure that public money goes to economic operators that respect workers and trade union rights,. The respect and promotion of these key conditions must be an integral part of any public procurement process, from planning to award and performance of contracts.

What they argued
Employee stock options. The proposal could mean that a company's risks are transferred to its employees; if a company becomes insolvent or goes bankrupt, employee stock options risk becoming worthless. Employee stock options must not be a way of avoiding social security contributions and other charges, leading to employees losing social security benefits and occupational pensions.
Saco tackar för möjligheten att lämna synpunkter på en eventuell översyn av ELA:s uppdrag. Då ELA:s verksamhet startade strax före pandemin tycker Saco att den behöver mer tid på sig för att utveckla och fullt genomföra sitt nuvarande mandat. Vi ser behovet av att stärka arbetsrätten inom EU, men tror att ELA genom att vidareutveckla sina arbetsmetoder inom nuvarande mandat kan nå större genomslag.
