The Federation of Professional and Managerial Staff YTN has issued a strike warnings concerning universities of applied sciences to the National Conciliator and Sivistysala (Sivista). In addition, YTN has announced a so-called ban on flexibility covering all universities of applied sciences as of 8 April 2026.
Unless a new collective agreement is reached in conciliation before then, announced strikes will be organised.
We have compiled some of the most frequently asked questions to help you find answers to your questions about the strike.
