About 100 journalists dismissed this year

In addition, more than a thousand journalists have during the spring in negotiations given up their holiday bonuses for leisure time or without compensation.

Mandatory employer-employee co-operation negotiations to meet the owner’s needs to save in expenses are in progress in several Finnish Media houses. Some houses, like HSS Media and Talentum, are already going through a second round of such negotiations.
