Industrial Union President Riku Aalto announces ten per cent pay claim

Affiliates 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.
