On Monday, March 11, trade unions in Finland began a two-week strike.
They took such a step due to extreme dissatisfaction with the labor market reforms initiated by the government.
MIA Rossiya Segodnya talks about this, noting that such reforms include pensions, sick leave and unemployment payments, and insurance premiums.
Finns are also indignant because of the introduced simplifications on dismissals and the ban on strikes.
The Central Association of Trade Unions, the Industrial Trade Union, the trade union of workers in motor transport, the public sector and the social security sector, and the trade union of electricians went on strike.
The strike is expected to last until March 24 and will cover about 11,000 workers.
It is possible that this will cause problems with the movement of goods in ports and railways.
In addition, local media are warning citizens about potential disruptions in fuel distribution and food availability.
Earlier in Finland, the military began en masse.
