For such a minor matter, the wheels of Finnosh justice have turned very story. It surely can't take more than 18 months to decide whether to press charges or not. Slow justice is also poor justice.

For the record, Jussi Halla-aho is a fascist.
He is a fascist for having been a member of the neo-fascist Suomen Sisu and for calling a military junta to Greece to pull through policies against the democratic process.
And like many fascists, he is a sorry-ass coward too.

This is an important decision: food #couriers in #Finland recognized as employees by the Supreme Administrative Court.
Couriers were overexploited and this decision hopefully improves their situation. However, many couriers suffer from the harsh immigration regime too.
