The wrestle over the international members’ right to change jobs and stay in Finland – latest updates

Target group:
This update and training is targeted to anyone who has come to Finland from someplace else and who needs to know about their rights and duties when it comes to work permits and rights to stay here.

Aim:
After this training you will know the latest legal changes on how the immigration laws will adapt to different situations and what they mean especially to you regardless of your status or situation; whether you are a student, employed, unemployed, a start-up entrepreneur or a long-term entrepreneur.

You will also learn how and why some of these latest changes took place and why the Finnish trade unions have been so closely involved in these processes.

Description:
Trade unions and central organizations participate in all the stages of the discussions and law making between government officials, politicians and employer associations when new labour legislation is being made in Finland (the so-called tripartite system). With the current government things have been more difficult than ever especially when it comes to internation experts, other foreign workforce and their rights, and actions have been needed to be taken. The real reason for belonging to trade unions is the chance to influence matters together, not e.g., access to financial and other benefits.
Come and hear about the final legal outcome and how we try and influence the labour legislation in Finland!
