Collective shopping difficult to get under control – SAK: industrial action, and negotiations are the only way

post type a second week on strike is largely a matter of the protest of the "collective shopping" against.

Employees of the Postal and logistics union (PAU) will not accept it, that their members have been transferred to another collective bargaining agreement covered. Against PAU now on strike and partly also because of a law book not a real life preserver in this situation.

the Employees do not legally have decision-making power to it, which according to the collective agreement in the workplace to do any work.

– the collective agreement act in the workplace apply to collective bargaining is determined by what the employer association the employer belongs to. Workers ' federation did not have the significance, say, of the labour the office of president of the retired Jorma salon tribe .

So, for example a Postal dispute at the core of the 700 package to be a picker are still largely Pau members, but their conditions of work are determined by the industry association and the media association collective agreement.

– collective agreements act, the statute also those workers who are unorganized or belong to another professional association, shall apply to the employers ' federation agreed to a collective agreement, in so far as workers are doing in that collective agreement as defined in the work, salon tribe said.

the law change does not succeed

the Present collective agreements act is in 1946, and it is not salon tribe according to modified in decades.

in Principle, "collective shopping" it is possible to get control of the law change, but in practice that option is salon tribe according to forget.

He estimated that the collective bargaining changes have always been done and will be done, for organisations and business structures are changing and the firms in the industry are developing.

I don't like realism, that law going to change, because it would be so deep going principles. It might be bumped up to the constitution. Freedom of association is a constitutionally guaranteed right.

salon tribe according to the change would require the labour consent of the parties and what is clear is that employers never would agree to.

– in Practice, workers have no other way to put pressure as collective action, he said.

salon tribe according to his it is difficult to think of a way in which the kingdom of the mediator Anemone Piekkala get the dispute resolved "at least the workers party wishing to legally have a solution."

Helsinki decided in 2014 to spin off parts of business department of palm of. Workers worried that the corporatization for employees collective agreements would change and thus the salary and other benefits would be.

He would take care of the salon tribe's way into the collective shopping otherwise as the law changes. That's when you will inevitably be addressed at the same time also the rights of workers to organise, which is the trade union action of the fundamental pillars.

we Understand that freedom belongs to his employer too. But yes it must be relevant to what people are organised, He said.

under Current law, workers select a union have no meaning. Thus, Elorantakin said that labour disputes and negotiations are the only practical means of affecting the "collective shopping for".
