The Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK) has announced that it will terminate 22 of its contracts. The termination of nearly two dozen union contracts concerns the working conditions of low-wage job-holders especially, such as security guards and movie theatre employees. This also concerns agreements on the role of the shop stewards and procedural agreements on co-decision procedures. The result is that on top of the ‘normal’ collective bargaining the sectoral unions also have to agree anew on these issues.
