Equal paid family leave is a great achievement
The number of days of family leave is defined by law, but whether the leave is paid or not is defined in the collective agreements negotiated by trade unions. “Allowing fathers to take more time off and taking diverse family types better into account is very important for equality,” says Tuula Aaltola, collective agreement expert in the private sector from TEK.
