HELSINKI, Sept. 4 -- The Finnish governmental plan to make it easier for companies of fewer than 20 employees to make dismissals is no doubt facing widely labor action in Finland.
The labor unions had expected the plan to be called off during the budget talk last week, but Prime Minister Juha Sipila said instead that the preparation for the changes in the labor laws would continue. The decision was confirmed by Labor Minister Jari Lindstrom on Tuesday.
On Monday, Jarkko Eloranta, chairman of the blue-collar central organization SAK, said all the SAK unions started preparation for "measures" which would not be "just demonstrations". Similar preparations have been underway in the white-collar unions, including those of nurses and teachers.
The unions have said the plan is unacceptable and will create inequality on the labor market, arguing that the change will affect one third of the Finnish wage earners.
The government has defined the change as a measure to improve employment and make hiring easier. The entrepreneurs who support the plan believe the current protection against dismissal is too high that businesses cannot take the risk of hiring.
In Finland, in case an employee fails to meet work standards, dismissal is not a legal option, and the company usually should arrange something else to do or offer training during working hours. Employers can send away a new recruit within 3 or 4 months trial period but not thereafter.
