Finland braces for widespread strikes on December 14

Finland is set to experience widespread disruptions on December 14, 2023, as the Trade Union for the Public and Welfare Sectors (JHL) extends its political strike to dozens of locations nationwide. The strike, part of the "Serious Grounds" campaign led by the central organization SAK, is a response to the Finnish Government's proposed policies, which JHL argues will severely weaken employee rights and social security.
