  3. Negotiation meetings continue in the private early childhood education and care sector

Negotiation meetings continue in the private early childhood education and care sector

5.12.2025

Your trade union JHL continues to negotiate on the future collective agreement terms and conditions for the private early childhood education and care sector. The collective agreement that applies to the sector at the moment will come to the end at New Year.

Negotiations on the future collective agreement for the private early childhood education and care sector have continued in two meetings this week.

Progress has been made in the negotiations, but time is running out. If the new agreement is not ready by the end of the year, the sector will have no collective agreement as of 1 January 2026.

“Some budding progress has been made in the negotiations, but we still have a long way to go before the agreement is completed,” describes Bargaining Specialist Matti Sallila.

The next negotiation meeting will be on Thursday 11 December.

The agreement is negotiated by JHL, OAJ, Super, and Talentia. The employers are represented by Finnish Education Employers (FEE). We follow the progress of the collective agreement negotiations on our website and in social media.

JHL is the best trade union for you if you work for example as a childcarer, family day carer, or a teacher or social pedagogue in early childhood education and care.
