25.03.2026Affiliates of the Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK) will seek wage increases of ten per cent. The aim is a six per cent pay rise in the first year, with a minimum increase of EUR 150 per month. A follow-up increase is 4 per cent in the second year, with a minimum increase of EUR 100 per month.
The unions will negotiate their own settlements and wage increases with their respective employers' federations in the coming winter and spring. The Industrial Union has already begun its collective bargaining round.
"Employee purchasing power has fallen dramatically due to rapid and substantial price rises. Wages are no longer worth as much, and we need bigger pay rises to correct this problem," explains Industrial Union President Riku Aalto.
PAU negotiated the option year for collective agreements (excluding the Åland agreement) earlier this autumn. All collective agreements will receive salary increases according to the so-called general line during the final year. What this general line will ultimately be remains to be seen.
