New collective agreement for the salaried employees in the technology industry and consulting sector has been approved

The negotiation result was reached Thursday evening in negotiations lead by Conciliator Jukka Ahtela. Both parties have approved the result today on Friday. As a result, the strikes announced by the Trade Union Pro that would have started on 11th of February have subsided. The overtime ban set by the Trade Union Pro has also been lifted.
