SAK believes Finns understand decision to resort to strikes despite widespread harm

THE CENTRAL ORGANISATION of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK) has expressed its regret about the damage caused by the political strikes that are to take place in early February.

Jarkko Eloranta, the chairperson of SAK, on Monday said the central organisation is confident that the public ultimately understands the decision to resort to such forceful measures in protest of the labour market reforms and social security cuts laid out by the government of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo (NCP).
