FINNISH NURSES GET SOME SATISFACTION BUT NO RESPECT
Nurses in Finland have, at long last, gained financial satisfaction. The solidarity was too much for the government ( pretending that local government was not national government).
Nurses in Finland have, should have had it long time ago, satisfaction of knowing that their work was important work. ( yet those nurses that did not join in the mass protest and especially those "private trainer-nurses" are today struggling to "look good".)
In fact government is quite pissed off right now.
There is still no respect for really essential workers.
This "win" by the nurses is just a battle.
To get that respect ( away from instrumental victories) "costs".
The government lost that kind of respect about a week after it was voted-in.
Yet I dance and sing with those good nurses that get a decent salary now.
Good luck to you all I say.

Now that the government's shown it can have its arm twisted, does that mean there's a queue of other unions waiting for their crack at the coffers?
Very good news Zo-Zo, but not nearly as good as the Inland Revenue cock-up here!!
Indeed Swagman : Such are fears of a government that is with and for fat cat profiteers but not with and for the majority.
Well Murky me old : I recall graduated pensions!!!!????
Anyway many are now saying that the nurses have informed us wrongly about the 22-28% pay rise over four years. It is all becoming a very bitchy thing methinks.
So they are lucky, we've just got our pay rise backdated from April....1.9% which means 11pence if you earn £6.00 an hour which a hellava lot of nurses do.
The excitment of thinking about what to spend my £3.00 a day on, knows no bounds.
