Continuous negotiation. The aim of continuous negotiation is to promote cooperation at workplaces, develop employ- ment and productivity in the industry, prepare amendments to collective agreements during the agreement period and prepare joint application guidelines for situations considered difficult at workplaces. The parties shall follow the principle of continuous negotiation during the agreement period so that various themes are negotiated and solutions are sought during the agreement period. Other matters may also be negotiated by proposal of one of the parties. Changes to the text agreed in the negotiations will be approved by the governing bodies of the parties, and they will enter into force at a separately agreed date. The federations will review experiences on the application of the new 10-hour working hours provision. For that reason, the federations will deliver a questionnaire to the workplaces. Based on the experiences received, the federations will assess the development needs for the provi- sion by 30 October 2021.

A joint strategy for the goal-oriented development of co-operation and collective agreements will be prepared by 31 May 2022. After this date, the strategy is implemented through contin- uous negotiation and the working groups appointed by the negotiating parties. The following jointly agreed guidelines are used as the basis, putting the content of the guide- lines into concrete form. • Labour market activities are proactive, dynamic and progressive. • We can respond agilely and quickly to customers’ needs and changes together at the federation level and in companies. • We understand the importance of healthy and motivated employees for the success of companies. • Together we improve the appeal of the chemical industry, particularly among the young. • Industrial peace is maintained during agreement periods. • All the measures aim to ensure the competitiveness of Finnish chemical industry companies in the world market. If the family leave reform (HE 129/2021) is realised, the working group will adapt the maternity and paternity leave pay provisions of the collective agreement (due to nomenclature) to match the content of the family leave reform by its entry into force (presumably August 2022). The implementation of the reform will not increase costs, and the number of days of paid leave will remain the same as before the reform. If the working group does not complete its work by the date on which the Act enters into force, the provision concerning pay during maternity leave will be applied so that an employee enti- tled to pregnancy leave and pregnancy allowance would be entitled to receive pay during her pregnancy leave and parental leave for a period equalling the period for which she would have received maternity ...
