This is a translation of YTN's press release on 31st January. In an attempt to speed up the stalled negotiations for collective agreements, our negotiation organization, the Federation of Professional and Managerial Staff YTN, has announced a second strike to take place 15–17 February in selected technology industry companies.

On Wednesday, 30 November, the collective labour agreements for four major industries for TEK members expired, namely, the YTN technology industries, the consulting sector, the IT services industry and the ICT sector.

YTN and Technology Industry Employers achieved agreements for the technology sector, consulting sector and ICT services sector. The duration of the agreements adhere to a 1+1 model, says YTN in a statement. According to a statement released by Technology Industry Employers, the agreements form a national example for the labour market.
