Government working group proposes amending Equality Act to offer more protections for mothers-to-be working on fixed-term contracts.

Pregnancy discrimination is common in Finland , with one in four women experiencing it.

Labour unions said the suggested changes do not go far enough.

The government is easing restrictions on fixed term contracts, allowing agreements of up to one year without a specific justification.
