The Confederation of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK) is now re-evaluating its objectives in the event that the negotiations for a social contract recommence. SAK reminded that its settlement proposal for the social contract negotiations has already expired. The settlement proposal would have all but waived wage hikes in 2017 and allowed export industries to determine wage hikes in 2018. SAK would have been prepared to transfer a number of social security contributions from the shoulders of employers to those of wage earners on the condition that the government withdrew its coercive revisions to the terms and conditions of employment. It had also proposed the adoption of a system to determine holiday pays that would have adjusted holiday pays to economic fluctuations. The government had said it would consider cancelling its controversial labour market legislation should the social partners reach an agreement that satisfies the government. Now it will go on with its original plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.helsinkitimes.fi\u002Ffinland\u002Ffinland-news\u002Fdomestic\u002F13649-sak-wage-settlement-now-hinges-on-ek-and-government.html\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.helsinkitimes.fi\u002Ffinland\u002Ffinland-news\u002Fdomestic\u002F13649-sak-wage … \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
