Finnish government says nurse pay row is not its business
Matti Vanhanen (centre), the Finnish prime minister, told MPs on Thursday that the government had no intention of intervening in the nurse pay row.
Speaking at question time, Mr Vanhanen added the dispute concerned the employees and the employers only and repeated that the government would not dispense extra money to help municipalities raise nurses’ pay.
The exasperated prime minister also hoped Parliament would stop fomenting expectations about a government intervention.
The Union of Health and Social Care Professionals (Tehy) is planning mass resignations in an effort to back its pay demands.
