Earlier, on March 17, Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen said that the government was maintaining secrecy regarding the development of labour market wage solution until a successful decision is made by the social organizations.
He said that the secrecy would help the social organizations, who are supposed to prepare a proposal and place it before the government prior to the budget session.
Earlier, the Board of Directors observed that an amicable solution of the negotiation is being considered by the social organization to reach a decision.
The decision was expected to be taken based on the spending cuts and tax increase.
