Comment on [🇫🇮Fi] Food couriers demand better pay and working conditions.

Good luck with that.

Finland is a deeply racist country and our current far-right government has exactly zero interest in worker demands in general – to the point of limiting people’s right to strike – and they’re going to be especially unsympathetic to pleas from people working for food courier platforms. The platforms themselves have zero interest in paying people more, as that would likely mean fewer customers and worse revenue

around 50% of our population is extremely conservative and very racist

Where’d you get this data?

  If ~50% of the voting age population supports an extremist right wing government (pretending they’re not extremists is pointless when we have had multiple neo-Nazi PR flaps and eg. the Speaker of the Parliament has said he’s a “proud Aryan”) and we’re statistically one of the most racist countries in Europe, and immigrants have a notoriously hard time finding anything but menial jobs, I’m not sure what sort of other conclusions you can draw?

    Seeing as the government is a coalition of parties, maybe it isn’t 100% racist-extremist and that’s why half the Finnish population doesn’t outright reject them?

    Right, it’s only 2/4 “I can’t believe it’s not real fascism” + 1/4 “we’d be ok with concentration camps as long as they were privately funded” which is much better. The National Coalition Party is more or less indistinguishable from the Finns Party, and they’ve made it exceedingly clear that they’re 100% fine with bigotry and many of their members are exactly as bigoted as the worst of PS / KD
