In Finland, thousands of civil servants will be laid off next year and 400 million euros are expected to be saved in the country's budget due to this step. Government bodies and ministries will have to hold large-scale negotiations on cooperation. Government sources estimate that thousands of civil servants in Finland will be dismissed from their jobs next year. Some ministries and departments may have to resort to temporary layoffs this year. This is due to the government's austerity policies, which also hit public administration particularly hard.

🚨 Urgent Action Needed: Protect the Right to Strike in Finland! 🚨 Friends and colleagues, I received an alarming email from the Left Alliance regarding the current government's attempt to limit our fundamental right to strike. This proposal threatens the very essence of our democracy and jeopardizes the hard-fought victories for workers' rights in Finland! Historically, political strikes have played a crucial role in securing not only workers' rights but also fundamental aspects of our democracy, such as equal voting rights!!! It's essential to recognize that restricting political strikes diminishes our ability to influence decisions that directly impact our livelihoods and societal well-being. Even though, not many political strikes have ever happened in the history of Finland, they've had immense positive influence on our free lives today. Additionally, the proposed bill could allow for the government to classify any strike as politically motivated and thus illegal - this would be dangerous ground. For example, the new Patient Security Act has limited the ability of nurses to go on strike in Finland. I encourage you to find out about the poor working conditions of nurses in Finland and the deterioration of Finnish public healthcare in general from Finnish news such as YLE. This is just one example why it is so incredibly important to be able to strike, because without strikes, your rights will be taken away from you. The rights you enjoy now were put into place because of strike action and the hard work of unions, not by your employer or government. Remember this. As concerned citizens, it's imperative that we take action now. I urge you to join me in signing the petition launched by the Left Alliance to protect the right to strike. Already, 15,000 voices have joined this cause, but we need to amplify our message. The government's proposed bill threatens to silence our collective voice and undermines the promises made by political parties during elections. We cannot stand idly by while our rights are eroded. Let's stand together to defend democracy and workers' rights in Finland. Sign the petition today and let your voice be heard: https://lnkd.in/g-s_9r7G Additionally, I encourage you to explore the Left Alliance's 10-point program, offering viable alternatives to the government's detrimental policies. Together, we can work towards building a fairer and more equitable labor market for all. Thank you for your solidarity and commitment to defending our rights. #RightToStrike #Democracy #WorkersRights #Finland #Solidarity #Petition

TOITŪ TE TIRITI? If you are taking time out from your mahi tomorrow to support Te Tiriti, please discuss this with your employer. Before you leave, best practice is to have reached agreement with your employer as to how your absence is going to be treated i.e. special leave without pay, annual holiday. If your whole workforce is activating and the business has confirmed you can reflect this on social media or other platforms - ka pai. If not, it is best to represent yourself. Consider whether you are driving a work vehicle or wearing branded attire before activating. If you are an employer, be ready to listen to your employees and understand why they are absent. Consider whether you want to support the kaupapa of “asserting the mana of Te Tiriti o Waitangi as enduring and everlasting.” through: - enabling safe spaces to learn about Te Tiriti - enabling time off without penalty - providing company resource to those activating. If you do not wish to support the kaupapa, remember you are bound by obligations of good faith and must act as a fair and reasonable employer through any process undertaken.

Industry News Acerinox's return will add to stainless price pressure An end to strike action at Spanish steelmaker Acerinox’s Los Barrios plant is expected to apply downward pressure to European stainless steel prices in the coming months. Around 1,800 unionised workers at the facility, in Cádiz, had been on strike for 136 days when they voted 60% in favour of a new employment agreement on June 20. A statement issued by the steelmaker to local press indicated that activity at the plant would start on the afternoon shift of the following day, June 21. For stainless steel market participants in Spain, in particular, the loss of supply had a marked effect. Material produced by Acerinox accounts for around half of the country’s supply. The timing of the workers’ strike at Acerinox also coincided with industrial action at ports in Finland, which affected deliveries from Outokumpu, resulting in reduced supply across the region.
