“As these industrial actions prolong, it would be important to aim for concord and thus receive industrial peace. It is important that the staff members have appropriate working conditions, so that we can keep on doing nationally significant research and developing education,” states Juuso Sikiö, the Chairperson of ISYY’s Executive Board.
