I think you are misrepresenting this situation:
“The Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that it has rejected nearly two-thirds of foreign workers’ visa applications for this wild berry harvesting season, largely due to recent revelations of exploitation by Finnish companies in the sector. For example, last month a former berry firm boss was sentenced to prison for human trafficking.”

It is not wrong the Government protecting people from abuse. And punishing the culprits.

@Trifolium@c.im I'm sure the workers are happy that they can't work (or be abused). I believe they should be protected, paid accordingly, but that's not protecting them, it's an excuse to block them instead of ensuring they are protected while working. In any case, my point is that foreigners are needed to do work locals don't want to do. Those jobs need proper benefits and an increase in the costs, but just using any excuse to close borders like the far-right is doing in Finland, doesn't work.
