Finnish police officers have announced a two-day strike due to low salaries.

A two-day strike by police officers began in the Western Uusimaa region in the southern part of Finland due to low salaries. This was announced on April 15 by the Yle television and radio company.

The reason for the strike is the stalled wage negotiations, which affect about 80,000 workers. According to the newspaper, the last time a police strike was held in Finland was in 1976.

"All police stations will be closed on strike days, that is, on Tuesday and Wednesday. Statements about violations cannot be submitted to the police station in person. The discovery sites will also be closed," the publication clarifies.

It is noted that police officers will continue to respond to emergencies that pose a threat to human life and health.
