The trade union Talentia suspects that there could be a wage cartel. If the non-compete on wages is confirmed, Talentia says it will take the matter forward.
Eastern Uusimaa municipalities have agreed among themselves on the salaries of social and health workers, reports Hufvudstadsbladet.
According to HBL, it has been agreed in the municipalities of Eastern Uusimaa that the salaries of social and health workers will be kept the same and will not compete with them until they move to the welfare area.
“We have discussed salaries and how we can keep them at the same level so that the salary is not a reason to change jobs,” said Porvoo’s Director of Social Affairs and Health. Ann-Sofie Silvennoinen According to HBL.
The trade union Talentia suspects that there could be a wage cartel. According to Talentia, the background to the agreement is the transfer of employees to the service of welfare areas instead of municipalities in the near future.
“At a time when the shortage of social workers is being shouted out loud in the municipalities, we have a large number of municipalities suspected of wage cartels for social workers. I am appalled, although we have certainly heard rumors of these cartels, ”says the chairman of Talentia Jenni Karsio in the bulletin.
According to Talentia, a possible wage cartel restricts the free movement of labor. If the non-compete on wages is confirmed, Talentia says it will take the matter forward and investigate its legality.
