Collective Agreement negotiations in the trade sector will start on 12 January 2023

Finnish Commerce Federation and Service Union United PAM will start the negotiations of the collective agreements in the trade sector on 12 January 2023. On behalf of Finnish Commerce Federation, the negotiations will be led by Anna Lavikkala, the Labour Market Director.

“In the commercial sector negotiations, we aim for constructive reforms, taking into account the different challenges of the different players in the trade sector,” emphasizes Lavikkala.

In the Negotiating World, we will provide background information on collective agreements and collective agreement negotiations. In addition, by following our conference log, you will receive up-to-date information on the progress of the negotiations.

Our principle is to conduct one-on-one negotiations with PAM within the so-called negotiation peace. The detailed CBA goals or the details of the negotiation are not disclosed to the public.

Current collective agreements and the industrial peace are valid until 31 January 2023. After the expiration of the validity period and before the entry into force of the new agreement, the provisions of the expired agreement will be followed.
