Protecting Interests
National-level Influence
The Finnish labor market model is based on continious cooperation and negiotations between employers and employees. Cooperation between labor market organizations and the government is also an essential part of The Finnish model.
The issues relates, among others, salaries and remuneration, working life legislation, civil service development programmes and certain parts of social legislation, and the balance between work and family.
