If you have a problem at work, you should talk to your supervisor first. If this does not help, contact the local union representative at work. If there is no local union representative at the workplace and you are a member of a trade union, contact your trade union. If you are not a trade union member, you can contact the occupational safety and health authorities.

For questions and answers about problems with working life and other information, see Info Finland website.
