No second strike in technology industry, agreement achieved

The board of the negotiation organisation YTN, acting for the Union of Professional Engineers, including HI, has approved the new Agreement Proposal given by the National Conciliator. That means no second strike of the senior salaried employees in the technology industry will take place, and the Collective Agreement with the employer’s union is achieved.

The Agreement includes a pay rise of 3 % to all from April onwards, if nothing else will locally be negotiated. In addition to that, a one-time extra pay will be paid in March. That will be 12,5 % counted from the income in February.

The employer can by its own decide over a pay rise of 0,5 % in addition to the general raise.

 

 

Next year (2024) the raise to all will be 1,3 % and the employer can decide independently over a raise of 1,2 %.

The overtime ban and the ban on work-related travel during leisure time is not valid anymore in the technology industry, but still stands for the consulting sector, because on that branch no Collective Agreement is achieved yet. So do keep on working in just the regular hours!

General information on labor market issues, and the Negotiations Manager Petteri Oksa’s views on achieving the agreement can be read on the YTN web pages.
