Property services sector collective agreement negotiations continue

PAM and Real Estate Employers have continued negotiations on the sector’s collective agreement this week. Difficult issues remain on the table, but the negotiation atmosphere has stayed positive.

Negotiations in the property services sector are ongoing. The sector’s collective agreement remains in force until the end of March, specifically until March 31, 2025. While challenging issues are under discussion, collective bargaining expert Kaarina Ahonen states that the negotiations have been conducted in good spirits between the parties.

– The atmosphere has remained good. At this stage of the negotiations, both parties’ objectives have been thoroughly discussed. This week, the focus has been on working time questions, Ahonen explains.

According to Ahonen, there has been genuine discussion on the sector’s working conditions at the negotiation table. She also notes that the support of the sector’s members is felt during the negotiations.

– We can feel the support of our members. It is encouraging that discussions about working conditions in the sector have been active both in workplaces and on social media. It is important to talk about the negotiations at work and encourage colleagues to join PAM. This strengthens our position at the negotiation table, Ahonen emphasizes.

The collective agreement negotiations in the property services sector will resume next week, with several meetings scheduled in the coming weeks.

In the negotiations, PAM aims to secure, among other things, a fair pay raise for employees in the sector, recognition of professional skills in wages, equality in mid-week public holiday practices, and the right to receive training alongside work.
