Cadherriinejä
Cadherriinejä, a Finnish term, refers to collective bargaining agreements in Finland. These agreements are legal contracts negotiated between employers' associations and trade unions, setting out the terms and conditions of employment for a specific sector or industry. They cover a wide range of issues, including wages, working hours, holidays, and other benefits. The Finnish system is characterized by a high coverage rate of collective agreements, which significantly influence the overall labor market. These agreements are crucial for maintaining industrial peace and ensuring fair treatment of employees. The process of negotiation involves extensive discussions and often results in compromises from both sides. Cadherriinejä play a vital role in shaping the Finnish model of labor relations, which is known for its cooperativeness and emphasis on social dialogue. The agreements are legally binding and are typically valid for a set period, after which they are renegotiated. They contribute to predictability and stability in the workplace and are a cornerstone of the Finnish welfare state.
