New guidebook explains regulations on use of foreign labour on construction sites

(Helsinki 17.05.2004 - Juhani Artto) The Finnish construction industry labour market organisations have jointly published a guidebook on the regulations governing the use of foreign labour. Construction is one of the industries in Finland in which unofficial labour has gained the strongest foothold. The highest estimates suggest that the number of illegal migrant workers on construction sites has jumped from a handful to several thousand over the last few years.

The new materials are aimed at construction industry employers using foreign labour. The guidebook is published by the Finnish Construction Trade Union and the Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries - RT. Read more about the guidebook on Trade Union News from Finland.
