Talks on broad-based incomes settlement to continue

Labour and employer representatives are to resume talks on national wage levels. According to Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen, the negotiations between the two sides will focus on a coordination agreement.

No timetable has been released for the resumed talks. However, it is likely that the threat of strikes by two unions in the technology sector in two weeks will form a deadline for negotiations.

The previous efforts to usher in a wide-ranging new national incomes agreement collapsed last week in disagreement over the size of future wage rises.
