Efforts by the Federation of Professional and Managerial Staff (YTN) and the Finnish Forest Industries Federation to settle an industrial dispute involving senior salaried employees in the paper industry reached an impasse on 2 December, and these employees began a ten-day strike at 06.01 on Friday 3 December. This industrial action will end at the same time on Monday 13 December.
The strike affects some 3,000 senior salaried employees in the paper industry. The main point of dispute is uncompensated time off spent on duties of work.
Previous recent industrial action in the sector has included a walkout and a four-day strike.
