Tanja Aidanjuuri wrote that the National Coalition Party and the left supported an increase in foreign labor, but according to her, only the Finns Party talked about what kind of labor markets would be built at the same time. Aidanjuuri reported that the Construction Union had announced that 30 fake entrepreneurs had been uncovered at a state-commissioned school construction site in Helsinki. According to her, labor rights had gone unchecked, wages had been paid below the collective agreements, and overtime and Sunday compensations had been left unpaid. She claimed that an individual worker could be missing about 1,500 euros from their salary per month. Aidanjuuri said that one of the companies operating on the construction site was managed from a prison in Estonia, and that according to an STT investigation, the company's trail led to organized crime in Estonia. She also criticized the expensive projects in cities, citing the Vantaa tram as an example. According to Aidanjuuri, the projects were justified by the promise of new jobs in the construction sector, but cheap labor was used on the jobs and they did not employ Finns. Aidanjuuri reported that authorities had conducted a total of 1,817 inspections of companies using foreign labor in 2025 and had filed 60 preliminary investigation reports against employers for the unauthorized use of foreign labor. She stated that authorities had assessed that bogus and forced entrepreneurship had become widespread, especially in the construction sector, and was part of labor-related exploitation. According to Aidanjuuri, exploitation harmed foreign workers, put honest Finnish companies in an unfair competitive position, and forced Finnish workers to compete for jobs under conditions that could not be met by adhering to Finnish labor standards. She considered it particularly serious that this occurred on a state construction site and deemed the discussion of increasing foreign labor without significantly stricter oversight irresponsible and detrimental to the labor conditions improvements advocated by unions. https://t.co/HXw2wzki3U #työvoima #rakennusala #työehdot (translated)
