White-collar workers striking in Finland

Dec 6 2010  A strike among white-collar workers in the Finnish pulp and paper industry started December 3 and is expected to last ten days.

It is the second strike among white-collar workers in Finland during the autumn. Less than 400 forest industry employees participated in the four-day strike by the Federation of Professional and Managerial Staff, YTN, in the end of October, according to The Forest Industries Federation.Negotiations between The Forest Industries Federation and YTN haven't so far brought any result.“Discussions concerning the terms of employment for professional and managerial staff members of the paper industry will now be continued at company level,” says Executive Vice President Jari Forss, who is responsible for labour market issues at the Finnish Forest Industries Federation. ??“Firms are prepared to discuss local and company-specific playing rules. The 40-hour slide already in use provides diverse opportunities for flexible working time schemes, but it is a good idea to discuss appropriate practices within industry companies.”
