TU negotiates on a new collective agreement in the ICT industry

TU (16.08.2010) The Union of Salaried Employees TU and the employer association Tikli will continue their collective bargaining on Tuesday. Although the old ICT industry collective agreement expired at the end of June, work at work places should be conducted in a regular manner, Arto Heikkilä is keen to stress. Within the union Heikkilä is responsible for bargaining in the ICT industry.

- Until a new agreement is in force, the regulations of the old agreement
are part of each employee's personnel work contract.

Heikkilä wishes to remind everyone that as long as the old agreement has any post-impacts on the working conditions one should not sign any new local or personnel agreements.

The national negotiations were interrupted in late June for a number of
reasons, such as the slow progress of the common task forces set out for the parties. TU's ICT ind ustry collective agreement concerns 15,000 salaried employees.
