Finnish docker plans to hold a 24-hour strike at all of Finland's ports on February 2 as part of a political protest against the government's employment policy.
Port workers, as members of the Transport Workers' Union (AKT), will join strike protests from 6 am on February 2 until 6 am on February 3.
In addition, the Finnish Seamen's Union (FSU) has urged all its members to attend a protest at the Helsinki Senate Square at 11 am on February 2.
It is reported that the country's trade unions oppose the new unemployment guarantee act, which came into effect earlier this year, and the unions stressed that the new act is "another exploitation of unemployment protection."
Since the beginning of this year, Finland has demanded that unemployed persons report on quarterly progress to the unemployment funds or social insurance agencies (carats), and the unemployment funds or social insurance agencies will assess whether they are active enough to find a job. If they feel that those people Not doing enough to find a job, unemployment benefits will be cut by 4.65% over the next three months.
