Finland: Mass workers’ strike wave continues against gov’t attacks on workers, unions, welfare
A coordinated string of political strikes brought Finland to a standstill from February 12‒16, when more than 130,000 workers took rolling strike action in response to an array of neoliberal reforms proposed by conservative prime minister Petteri Orpo’s National Coalition government, reports Clive Tillman.

Cory DoctorowThe revival is a step on the way to bringing back the practice of #SectoralBargaining, where workers set contracts for *all* employers in an industry. Sectoral bargaining was largely abolished through the dismantling of the #NewDeal, though elements of it remain. Entertainment industry unions are called "guilds" because they bargain with all the employers in their sector - which is why *all* of the Hollywood studios are being struck by #SAGAFRTRA and the #WGA.
