I erupt now more round of pressure to get more salary, estimated by professor Heikki Ervasti from the university of Turku. Employees, he says, is easy to understand.

– background, which has several very moderate spins and spins, which is the earlier of the advantages of downright abandoned. Now that economic growth has become a little bit more fair, so we want to be part of that.

the workers have ervasti, according to come against employers in 2008 after the economic crisis in many ways. Of these, one is working time longer by the competitiveness agreement (kiky), which now chafe negotiations between competitors.
