Industrial action|In February, the unions left a strike warning, which is still valid with the rejection of the proposal. One day strike would hit Saturday this week.
Service sector employers Palta rejected On Tuesday, a proposal for a reconciliation in the film and TV work dispute. Palta said that the proposal for reconciliation would not have been sufficient to ensure the industry’s ability to function in the current “problematic situation”.
“The profitability of the industry has collapsed in recent years, and bankruptcies have also been seen. Ordering production has been constantly declining and threatening to move abroad more and more, ”said the negotiating director Kaisa Lakovaara Palta in the bulletin.
The Journalist Association and the Theater and Media Workers’ Association Teme would have been ready to accept the proposal for a reconciliation.
The parties are expected to continue mediation on the labor dispute on Wednesday morning.
Avocado reported that the employee side has made the well -being at work and coping at work as key issues in the negotiations. However, Lakovaara said that well -being issues at work are not solved through collective agreements, but at corporate level and, for example, cooperation between unions.
In addition, Lakovaara sees that “disproportionately high” wage increases will weaken rather than increase well -being at work.
“In the field, the industry has recently been cut and therefore less money would be available for production. This would lead to less factors and shooting days in production. ”
Journalist lobbyist Petri Savolainen described Palta’s decision as “scandalous”.
“We think the mediator’s proposal would have been good. It would allow for more humane working conditions for TV shows and films, ”Savolainen said in the press release.
TEME CEO Karoliina Huovila in turn said he was disappointed To Palta’s solution.
“Government cuts, financing uncertainty and undersized budgets are a problem that Teme understands, but the industry cannot work at the expense of employees,” Huovila said in the release.
