Min A-kasse continues to fight against unfair wage insurance

PeterhummelgaardMin A-kasse continues to fight against unfair wage insurance schemes like those offered by ASE. The problem is that they bypass all labor market rules, they undermine the common unemployment benefit system, and they are only for carefully selected groups.

We are therefore pleased that the Minister of Employment, Peter Hummelgaard, confirms that he will address the problem. In a series of answers to parliamentary questions from SF's labor market spokesman Karsten Hønge - partly based on our pointing out the problems - he replies that "in my eyes, the insurance product does not align with what the Danish labor market stands for" and that he is "willing to look at initiatives that can strengthen our unemployment benefit system".

We look forward to the Minister translating political opinion into political action - we are fully aligned with his approach.

Alternative schemes such as those offered by ASE cannot be compared to the common and widespread wage insurance, which is a - for many, unfortunately necessary - supplement to unemployment insurance. The fact that more and more people want to supplement unemployment benefits with wage insurance is only natural as the value of unemployment benefits is being eroded to an unacceptable degree. This is also a battle that Min A-kasse is fighting.
