Finnish paper workers return to work after strike ends in victory
FINNISH paper workers belonging to the Paperiliitto union at multinational UPM returned to work on April 23 after 112 days of strike action — the longest in the country’s history.
Workers walked out after UPM attempted to undermine national pay bargaining and union rights within the company.
The union’s 2,200 members took all-out strike action and resisted UPM’ s strike-breaking activities with 24-hour picketing, which received strong support from print and paper unions internationally including Unite, Workers Uniting and IndustriALL Global Union.
