To sum it up:

The flexicurity model is a kind of contract between The state - not to make employment protection legislation and to supply a

relatively high income to unemployed workers and to initiate relevant active labour market policies

The employers organisations – to hire when good market conditions and to fire when not so good

The employees organisations ( trade unions) – not to demand protective agreements that would undermine the easy access to hire and fire and thereby the flexibility of the labour market. In return they receive relatively high level of welfare and training when unemployed.
