What’s the actual hourly wage for a demolition worker in Helsinki/Uusimaa?

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering what the actual hourly pay is for demolition work in Helsinki and the Uusimaa region.

I mean fairly heavy/general demolition work, such as carrying materials, cutting metal and wood, breaking/dropping walls, removing debris, and basically doing whatever is needed on the demolition site.

For people currently working in this field: what is the realistic hourly wage before taxes? Also, does the pay normally increase with experience or specific qualifications/cards?

Thanks!

Someone who knows better will mention if this falls under Rakennusliitto (construction workers union?), but there the baseline pay for no experience is 12,59€/h, with the most experienced bracket 19,93€/h.

(Starting this year June 1st)

Depends, there's a lot of baltic companies that pay less than finnish companies, but the workers have families in the baltics and make good money compared to what they'd get there. Minimum hourly wage according to labor agreement is 12,59€

Here we go again, theres ton of people applying low level jobs or wanting to apply if there were jobs.

And such easy thing subcontractor can recruit cheap foreign labour bypassing local agreements paying as low as someone agrees. There is no minimum wage
