Salaries. Joroinen. Baltic Sea. Tuesday’s weather.

The gender pay gap

First, the news about salaries.

There is still a big difference in wages between women and men.

Statistics Finland reports that women’s salaries are approximately 16 percent lower than men’s salaries.

For example, women members of the Finnish Confederation of Trade Unions receive 500-600 euros less in salary than men.

One reason is that there are more men in jobs where the pay is higher.

There is still a big difference in wages between women and men.

The wage gap has slowly narrowed over the years.

Antti Palola, chairman of the workers’ organization STTK, says that women’s salaries have not increased enough.

Palola says that equality will improve if salary information is transparent.

Now the news of the accident.

A serious accident occurred in Joroinen, North Savo, on Saturday.

Two people were killed when a van exploded next to a hotel.

The hotel’s exterior canopy also caught fire and the hotel’s windows were broken.

A car explosion occurred in Joroinen on Saturday, killing two people.

Police say there were no explosives in the car.

The cause of the explosion could be, for example, a gas cylinder.

The incident has shocked the residents of Joroinen.

The congregation remembered the victims of the accident at mass.

Finally, a news about security policy.

NATO’s effective surveillance in the Baltic Sea is working well.

A Finnish naval ship patrols the Baltic Sea. Here it is practicing firing with a cannon.

There are more Russian ships moving in the Baltic Sea than before.

That is why the military alliance NATO has also increased surveillance in the Baltic Sea.

Monitoring has helped. There have been no more breaches of seabed cables in the Baltic Sea.

Before power monitoring, someone broke the cables.

Navy Commander Tuomas Tiilikainen says that the surveillance has worked.

Foreign ships will be caught if they try to commit sabotage in the Baltic Sea.

Still a weather forecast.

The weather will vary on Tuesday.

It will rain in the west. It may rain a little elsewhere as well.

The sun may shine in the south.

The temperature is around 7-10 degrees. It’s a bit frosty in Lapland.
