The Finnish Food Workers' Union (SEL) only barely approved the final proposal by 17 votes to 16. The new collective agreement is to remain in force until the end of March 2014, and includes a wage increase in the first year of 1.5%, to be implemented by 1 June 2010 and 1 October 2010. Index-related pay hikes will follow. In addition, the system of seniority rights will be improved. The agreement covers the bakery, meat procesing, dairy, food industry, and beer and beverage branches.
