The Swedish Work Environment Authority has banned unauthorized overtime for doctors in Region Dalarna. The region is appealing a one million kronor fine.
The decision follows an alert from chief safety representative Henrik Zetterberg about the overtime situation. He expresses disappointment with the region's response.
"Of course we think it is unfortunate that the region chooses to fight the Work Environment Authority regarding the fine amount for the ban", says Zetterberg.
He adds that they would rather have seen the region work more intensively to comply with the rules.
