Industry business leaders have expressed relief that the long-running strike action at UPM’s Finnish mills is over – but concerns remain about how long it will take for paper and label supplies to normalise.
Chief shop stewards at UPM businesses have written an open letter to the firm’s CEO demanding that negotiations to resolve long-running strike action should be resumed immediately at its Communication Papers business.
Finnish Paperworker’s Union Paperiliitto has confirmed that strike action at UPM will be extended into April, and has slammed UPM’s “arrogance towards its own employees”.
