The collective agreement negotiations for the private teaching sector and vocational adult education centres have reached negotiation results for administrative and support service staff. More information on the content of the negotiation results will be provided when the negotiating parties have discussed them in their executive bodies.

The collective agreement negotiations for the private teaching sector and vocational adult education centres have reached negotiation results on 21 May 2024. After a long series of negotiations and conciliation, an agreement on new terms and conditions of employment was reached between JHL, Jyty and Finnish Education Employers (FEE). These negotiation results cover administrative and support service staff.

– Knowledge that Petteri Orpo’s government is making extensive cutbacks in education has overshadowed the negotiation process, JHL’s Senior Bargaining Specialist Hanna Katajamäki comments about the long negotiations this spring.

More details on the content of the negotiation results will be provided when the parties have discussed them in their executive bodies.

The negotiation results cover administrative and support service staff

The negotiation results that were achieved on 21 May do not apply to teaching staff. They only cover the administrative and support service professionals, who are represented by JHL and Jyty. Administrative and support service employees in the private teaching sector and adult education centres work for example as instructors, assistants, secretaries, administrative planners and specialists. They also include professionals working in catering and in cleaning and property services.

In collective agreement negotiations for the private teaching sector and adult education centres the employees are represented by JHL, Jyty and OAJ, and Finnish Education Employers (FEE) represents the employers. OAJ will continue to negotiate on the collective agreement for teaching staff with Finnish Education Employers.
