Negotiation round 2024-2025
Collective agreement negotiations have started or are about to start in sectors where many TEK members work.
In the private sector, collective agreement negotiations in the technology industry, consulting sector and IT service sector started in September and in the architectural design sector a little later in the autumn. The collective agreements in all these sectors expired on 30th November and no new agreements have yet been reached in any of the fields.
The pressure measures in the technology industry announced by the Industrial Union and Trade Union Pro on 18th November do not apply to TEK members working as senior salaried employees. The terms of the collective agreements are still in force with the so-called after-effect.
In the private sector, negotiations are also ongoing in the ICT sector, the private laboratory industry and on the sector of yrityskehitysorganisaatiot (business development organisations), among others. Negotiations in the chemical industry also started in December.
Follow the negotiation situation on all private sector agreements in more detail on YTN's website.
