Harassment in the service sector is not getting better – the tourism and restaurant industry joins the Let's behave campaign

Too many of those working in the service sector have to face harassment, threats or inappropriate behaviour at work. The Finnish Hospitality Association MaRa is joining the Let's behave campaign along with Finnish Commerce Federation and the Service Union United PAM. The campaign will kick off on June 16.
