title = "Finland Rattled by Political Strikes Against the Conservative Governments{\textquoteright} Anti-Union Agenda",
abstract = "For the past months, Finland has been shaken by recurring strike waves, involving hundreds of thousands of workers in all sectors of the economy. The strikes are political, not directed at any particular company or related to bargaining demands. Instead, the primary target is the conservative Finnish government, and its plan to implement a wide set of policies aimed at improving the manufacturing sector{\textquoteright}s competitiveness after many years of weak economic growth. If passed, these policies would weaken unions significantly, and contribute to the employer strategy to dismantle the Finnish sectoral bargaining model.",

note = "OnLabor is a blog devoted to workers, unions, and their politics. We interpret our subject broadly to include the current crisis in the traditional union movement (why union decline is happening and what it means for our society); the new and contested forms of worker organization that are filling the labor union gap; how work ought to be structured and managed; how workers ought to be represented and compensated; and the appropriate role of government — all three branches — in each of these issues.",
