Mon, 20 Jul, 2015 12:09:10 AM FTimes – STT Report, July 20  Photo – Lehtikuva. The Transport Workers’ Union, ATK will not back the social contract, Marko Piirainen, the chair of the union confirmed on Sunday.
Piirainen said the board of ATK made a decision in June for the union not to become part of such a social contract in which the workers will be subjected to long working hours or reduced salaries.
The government expects the labour market organisations to commit to a comprehensive social contract by August 21.
The agreement, among other things, aims at reducing the unit labour cost by at least five per cent. The government will embark on further cuts and tax hikes if the agreement is not realised.
Service Union United-PAM President Ann Selin told news agency STT on July 8 that the social contract is unlikely to be born, if it includes a condition to extend the working hours.
