Pending complaints
The complaint was registered on 18 December 2025. The complaint concerns Articles 6 (right to collective bargaining) and G (restrictions). OAJ alleges that the Finnish government, through a recent series of legislative amendments and other governmental actions, has violated its commitments under the Revised European Social Charter. In particular, OAJ claims that Finland has failed to promote joint consultations and collective bargaining, has dictated the course of negotiations rather than acting as a genuine third party, has imposed unlawful preconditions on dispute resolution mechanisms, and has restricted the right to sympathy strikes based on purely economic grounds, in violation of the Charter.
