”Initially joined Suomen Ekonomit mainly for the Talouselämä magazine subscription. I never thought I would need a lawyer in my career. But then, during change negotiations at my previous job, I found myself in a situation that strongly resembled an unlawful dismissal.”

Collective Bargaining Agreements
A collective agreement
boosts your paycheck
Did you know that Finnish law does not mandate holiday bonuses or paid parental leave? These valuable benefits come from collective agreements that unions negotiate for their members.
What if I’m not covered by a collective agreement?
Not all business graduates are yet covered by a collective agreement, but we are continuously working to expand their reach. If you are not covered, we are here to support you when you negotiate your benefits independently. Negotiate first, then have our lawyers review your contract draft to ensure nothing essential is missing.
