Ukrainian workers who took part in a large construction project in Tampere have finally received their wages.
Five Ukrainian concrete workers who came to Finland in 2022 to build wastewater treatment plants in the Tampere region received their money last week.
Rakennusliitto subcontractor Tony Malmström said that the money was transferred to the accounts of Ukrainians who had been underpaid for more than six months. According to him, the payments amounted to thousands of euros per employee.

The long-term arrears were caused by the fact that the main contractor, Kreate, a part of TYL Sulkavuori, was experiencing financial difficulties. However, according to Kreate's HR director, Katja Pussinen, the company eventually paid the money through a Latvian company that had previously made payments.
