The Committee notes the information provided in the Government’s report, including the summary of the comments made by the Central Organization of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK), and the Confederation of Unions for Academic Professionals in Finland (AKAVA).

The Committee notes the comments made by the SAK that, due to restrictions concerning sympathy action, state civil servants or local government officials do not have the right to organize a protest strike against the Government’s economic and social policies. The Committee requests the Government to provide in its next report any observations it might wish to make on the SAK’s comments. The comments made by the AKAVA are being dealt with by the Committee in its examination of Convention No. 98.
