The Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Vadym Prystaiko, during a meeting with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Finland to Ukraine, Paivi Laine, noted that Finnish farmers expect to hire 15,000 Ukrainians workers this year.
“Finland is experiencing a shortage of labor force for seasonal operations. Ukrainian workers have shown themselves to advantage. They are responsible, honest, hardworking and we will be glad to have an opportunity to hire them for work in farming, forestry and other spheres this year,” the Ambassador of Finland said.
In his turn, Prystaiko noted that the government is aware of the regular employment of Ukrainian workers in seasonal work in European countries. So, Finland annually hires from 12,000 to 15,000 Ukrainians, in particular for work on farming equipment and harvesting berries, etc.
“Together with Finnish colleagues the government of Ukraine will help Ukrainian workers to arrive for seasonal work, in particular by arranging a necessary number of flights. Of course, safety is the matter of the utmost importance. Therefore, the requirements for employers regarding legal employment of Ukrainian workers, providing them with high quality health insurance and observation remain unchanged,” Prystaiko emphasized.
Prystaiko also added that the government office was working with the relevant requests from Austria, Finland, Denmark and Norway.
