immigration (Clear)
During the last weekend of November, there will be two simultaneous events organised in Helsinki for JHL’s immigrant-origin members. The union is putting more effort into immigrant work and invites all star professionals to join the activities.
Trade Union JHL is financing a new research project that looks into changes in working life along with looking for solutions to the shortage of labour. The project is a natural continuation to our own reports on demographic change. Increasing immigration would be one good method for solving the shortage of labour.
According to a recent survey by Trade Union JHL, Finnish people have an even more tolerant attitude towards labour immigration if the immigrants’ terms and conditions of employment are like those of Finnish people. Two out of three respondents (67%) are of the opinion that Finland needs more labour immigrants. Kantar-TNS conducted the survey by commission of JHL, over 1,000 people replied to it.
Today we celebrate the International Day Against Racism, and the topic could not be more current. Values important to JHL include fairness and boldness. We stand up for human rights, solidarity and equality. This goes for all our members.
