The new agreement for Finland was signed on Friday, 15 December 2000. The agreement covers about two million wage-earners, comprising some 90 per cent of Finnish employees.
The new agreement was signed by all of the central employee confederations except AKAVA, which represents academically qualified professionals. Despite the failure of their parent organisation to sign, however, unions representing a large proportion of the AKAVA membership base have also negotiated collective agreements that are in line with the general agreement.
