    This looks cool! Since I’m a dumbass, can you help me understand what I’m looking at? How does a post/comment get associated with a region? Is it a text based analysis of the post that picks out keywords?

    Another thought, would it be feasible to show a timeline view to show which regions are “hot” at the moment and over time? I imagine in 2022 that Ukraine would light up (no pun intended), and in 2024 so would Gaza. That would be kind of cool to see.

    In Finland, the confederation of trade unions SAK is in the second week of an ongoing 2-week strike. Now the strike is extended at least another week.

    Short blurb describing the strike extension

    SAK and its member unions will continue the ongoing political strikes.

    SAK’s two large member unions, Teollisuusliitto and AKT, say their strikes will continue until next week, i.e. until the beginning of the month.

    The announcement of the central organization SAK itself does not mention any end date.

    • We are ready to suspend the strikes at any time, if the government shows understanding for the workers’ concerns, SAK chairman Jarkko Eloranta says in the press release.

    The board of SAK will meet to assess the situation next week, the release states.

    Approximately 7,000 employees from various trade unions are involved in the strikes.

    [Prime minister] Orpo and Satonen regret the continuation of the strikes

    According to Prime Minister Petteri Orpo (coordinator), the continuation of strikes is not the right solution in this situation.

    Commenting on the matter to STT, Orpo said that he considers the continuation of the strikes to be very sad news.

    The government is still unable to put pressure on these. By negotiating and discussing and talking about things, they can find solutions to these things. I hope that this path would now be continued, and these strikes would be left unheld for the time being.

    Orpo recently commented on the strike news to reporters in the parliament.

    He said that he had not yet had time to go through the discussions with Labor Minister Arto Satonen (council) that took place earlier the same day with the wage earners’ central organization SAK and Suomen Yrittäjie.

    That much I already understood that when there have been discussions in the direction of both SAK and SY, there is a readiness to discuss local agreements.

    Orpo added that Labor Minister Satonen is constantly having discussions with different parties.

    Let’s try to find a solution so that these issues can be moved forward, the central content will be maintained and these harmful strikes will end.

    After the SAK press conference, Labor Minister Arto Satonen also appealed to find a discussion solution.

    Satonen writes in the message service X that he finds the continuation of the strikes regrettable after the day’s discussions.
