Overview

This book offers a concise yet comprehensive treatment of its subject matter. It begins with a short overview of Finland's geography and population, political and legal system, and economy. The Introduction further discusses the history of the labour relations system and the role of government organs within the system. Part I discusses the law of the individual employment relationship: the individual employment contract; rights and duties of the contract parties; health and safety at work; employee privacy; working time and annual vacations; job security and other matters concerned with the end of the relationship; protection against discrimination; and settlement of disputes over rights. In Part II, collective labour relations are discussed: trade union freedom; the associations network; workplace participation and other institutionalized relations between employers and employees; general framework and law of collective agreements; and industrial action.
