Salary schedule. Poaching. Kultaranta. Wednesday’s weather.

Municipal and welfare sector salary program

First, news about labor market policy.

The municipal and welfare sector salary program will end in the middle of the season.

The reason is the decision of the employers. The employers have terminated the 5-year salary program.

The salary program was agreed in 2022, meaning there were still 2 years left.

The municipal and welfare sector wage program was an agreement that brought additional wage increases for librarians, teachers, and doctors, for example.

The agreement affected hundreds of thousands of people.

There will be no increases now because employers have terminated the salary program.

The reason is the difficult economic situation. Negotiations are underway in the municipal and welfare sectors on new collective agreements.
