PAM has decided on a new strike in the security guarding sector – targeted to Prevent 360 Turvallisuuspalvelut Oy
The Service Union United PAM has decided on a third strike in the security guarding sector. The strike will be carried out in Prevent 360 Turvallisuuspalvelut Oy and it will start on Friday 9 November at 2 pm and end on Saturday 10 November at midnight. The strike covers all tasks included in the security guarding sector collective agreement of that company.
Prevent 360 Turvallisuuspalvelut Oy is one of the biggest providers of security and guarding services in Finland.
Mediation efforts in the security guarding sector ended on October 22 with no settlement. As a result, PAM announced a three-day strike applying to the entire sector. The strike took place last week ending at midnight on October 26.
On Tuesday 23 October, PAM announced another strike in the security guarding sector applying to Securitas Oy and Securitas Palvelut Oy. If realized, the strike will begin on Tuesday 6 November at 2 pm.
Prevent 360 Turvallisuuspalvelut Oy strike is PAM’s third strike announcement in the security guarding sector. Prevent 360 Turvallisuuspalvelut Oy employs approximately 1,300 employees in the tasks covered by the security guarding sector collective agreement.
The security guarding sector collective agreement covers approximately 8,500 employees who work as, for example, security guards, security officers, janitors and cash-in-transit drivers. The agreement is generally binding. The sector has been in a state of non-agreement since 1 May 2018, after the previous collective agreement period ended on 30 April 2018.
