Modern muzzle

Dag Yngve Dahle (above) has written the book Moderne munnkurv (Modern muzzle) together with Maria Amelie. It looks at Norwegian employees’ freedom of expression, and list a range of examples of workers being reprimanded by employers for talking about their workplace. The author is pictured next to the Oslo City Hall, where some of the construction workers from the 1930s became models for Per Palle Storm’s sculptures. Are employees equally valued today?
