Agreement in the negotiations in the VIRKE-HUK area

On Tuesday 17 June, the central parties met for negotiations on the interim settlement for the private and non-profit enterprises in Virke, HUK. 

The result is that wages were regulated in the same way as the results in the public sector.

The settlement applies to employees in health, education and culture in non-profit and private enterprises affiliated with Virke.

The result includes the following six national agreements to which NITO is a party. Now that the central settlement has been completed, there will be a basis for NITO to initiate local negotiations in the individual enterprise – where this has been agreed.
