Finland’s SAK to ratchet up industrial actions, warns of consequences

THE CENTRAL ORGANISATION of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK) on Tuesday announced it will stage a series of strikes lasting up to a day as of next week. “We will bring production facilities to a halt. I am sure it will cause costs and harm. There is no way to avoid that this time,” Jarkko Eloranta, the chairperson of SAK, was quoted saying at a press conference on Tuesday by YLE.
